2016 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · SY66 PZD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in March 2026 at 92,242 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the car failed that same test due to a split nearside front outer drive shaft constant velocity boot. This repair was addressed immediately to secure a clean pass. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained a clean record for two consecutive years with no recorded defects, suggesting that the owner generally performs reactive maintenance when faults are identified during testing. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 82,116 miles in March 2024 to 87,019 miles in March 2025, reaching 92,242 miles by March 2026. This regularity suggests consistent use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of rubber components and seals and preventing brake-related issues like seizing or fluid ingress. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front drive shaft area to ensure the recent failure was properly rectified and that no grease leakage has contaminated the gearbox. The failure in 2024 regarding headlamp aim and an inoperative rear levelling device indicates previous electrical or alignment issues that should be verified to ensure the system is now functioning correctly. Given the mileage and age, a physical inspection should also focus on the condition of suspension bushes and control arm bolts, as these are common points of wear on this platform at this mileage interval.
