2005 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · RY55 KMJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance. The most recent test conducted in February 2023 at 172,325 miles yielded a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, suggesting the car was in mechanically sound condition at that time. However, the history of failing just days prior to passing in both 2019 and 2023 suggests the previous owner only addressed faults immediately before the inspection deadline rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Between June 2019 and March 2021, the car covered 3,734 miles, representing a period of lower usage before the mileage increased in the following years. There is a significant data gap following the February 2023 test; as of the current date in June 2026, the vehicle has not been tested for over three years. This lack of recent data leaves the current state of consumable components, rubber bushings, and brake fluid unknown, despite the low recorded mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and suspension components. Given the age of this Audi A4, corrosion on the sills, wheel arches, and subframe is a primary concern that the MOT record cannot fully mitigate. Because the last test was three years ago, the inspector should specifically check for signs of perished hoses, leaking shock absorbers, and seized brake calipers which often occur during periods of inactivity or low-mileage use.
