2017 Audi A4 3.0L Diesel · RY66 AFV

The 2017 Audi A4 presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2026-01-21 at 45,336 miles. The last four annual tests, from 2023 to 2026, all passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A single failed test in 2023-01-19 at 40,353 miles was recorded as ‘no defects,’ suggesting a possible administrative error or minor non-critical issue. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in the latest records implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the low mileage for its age warrants scrutiny. The car’s mileage of 45,336 miles over nine years equates to approximately 5,037 miles annually, significantly below the UK average. This suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and engine fluids. Notably, the 2023-01-26 test at 40,456 miles showed no defects, but the subsequent 2023-01-19 failure—despite the same mileage—raises questions about the reliability of the MOT process. The sparse data between 2023 and 2026, with no advisories, indicates a clean record but limited insight into gradual wear. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, particularly in the underbody and wheel arches, which can develop during long periods of inactivity. Check suspension components for stiffness or uneven wear, as low mileage may mask bush wear. Verify brake functionality, including caliper binding and disc thickness, to ensure no hidden issues arose from reduced usage. The exhaust system and emissions controls should also be examined, as prolonged idleness can affect catalytic converter efficiency. Overall, the MOT history reflects a mechanically sound vehicle, but physical inspection is crucial to confirm itsTrue condition.
