2005 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · SL05 BPO

The Audi A4 passed its most recent MOT on 2 February 2022 at 162,084 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it legally roadworthy at that point. The maintenance trend shows a brief instability immediately before that pass, but the final outcome was clean. Given the test is over four years old relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, the vehicle has since run without any recorded official inspection. The recorded mileage is typical for a 21-year-old car at roughly 7,718 miles per year, indicating steady rather than intensive use. The history shows only 29 miles accumulated between the 27 January 2022 failure at 162,055 miles and the 2 February 2022 pass at 162,084 miles. Three tests clustered within a week suggest the owner addressed a non-defect administrative or presentation issue rather than mechanical neglect, though the DVSA entries list no faults to confirm this. A buyer must commission a fresh MOT and physical inspection before purchase. The 2022 records flag no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, but the absence of data for over four years means consumable wear and structural integrity are unverified. Standing time since early 2022 likely degraded tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition. Prior to sale, examine the underbody for structural rust, test the braking system for binding calipers, and check coil springs for fracture. The clean 2022 sheet implies reasonable care from the previous owner, yet the elapsed gap demands full mechanical scrutiny.
