2005 Audi A4 3.0L Diesel · SP55 AFX

The vehicle passed its latest MOT on 14 April 2025 at 125 141 miles with no defects recorded. The preceding year shows a failure on 2 May 2024 at 115 893 miles followed by a pass the next day at 115 895 miles, and the pattern repeats in April 2025 with a failure at 125 139 miles and an immediate pass. This corrective cycle indicates a stable maintenance trend rather than a progressive deterioration, suggesting that identified issues were addressed promptly. Mileage accumulation from May 2023 to May 2024 rose from 108 750 miles to 115 893 miles (≈7 143 miles in a year), and from May 2024 to April 2025 the increase reached 125 139 miles (≈9 246 miles in roughly 11 months). Although the average remains low at about 5 959 miles per year—consistent with light overall use—the recent acceleration points to a shift toward more frequent driving. The record is sparse, with only three test points over two years, limiting a detailed wear‑trend analysis. A buyer should inspect the brakes for binding calipers, pad wear and disc condition, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play, and check the exhaust system and emissions equipment for leaks or corrosion. Tyre tread depth and pressure should be verified, as low‑mileage vehicles can still suffer from uneven wear if stored improperly. Visual inspection for structural rust around wheel arches, sills and underbody is essential, given the vehicle’s age. Confirm that the re‑test passes were genuine and that no hidden advisories remain unresolved.
