2009 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · SE09 LVM

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with no significant mechanical or structural trends emerging from the recorded history. The most recent MOT test on 3 March 2023 at 196,687 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories noted. This follows a failed test on 21 February 2023 at the same mileage, though the specific cause of that failure was not documented in the provided record. The consistent passing of tests since 2019 suggests the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition without recurring issues in the braking or suspension systems. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age and type. The data shows a steady progression from 156,788 miles in August 2019 to 196,687 miles by March 2023. This represents an average of approximately 10,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a 2009 Audi A4. There are no indications of long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes that would suggest irregular usage or odometer tampering. While the MOT history is clean, the high cumulative mileage of 196,687 miles necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often require replacement on high-mileage Audi models. The underside of the vehicle should be checked for significant corrosion on the exhaust system and subframes, which is common for a vehicle approaching its 17th year. The braking system also warrants a close examination. Although no binding calipers or worn discs were flagged in the recent tests, the mileage suggests that brake pads and discs will likely be nearing the end of their service life. Additionally, checking the integrity of various rubber components, such as drive shafts and engine mounts, is advisable to ensure they have not perished due to age despite the consistent mileage.
