2010 Audi A4 2.7L Diesel · T3 PCE

This Audi A4 has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over the past five MOT cycles, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the tests conducted between March 2022 and April 2026. The most recent inspection on 8 April 2026, at 156,352 miles, confirms the vehicle remains free from major mechanical or structural failings. While the absence of advisories suggests no recurring issues have been overlooked, the lack of defects does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection—particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The trend is stable, with no evidence of worsening conditions, but critical components such as suspension geometry, brake calipers, and exhaust integrity should be closely examined. The mileage progression indicates responsible usage, averaging approximately 9,772 miles annually over the past six years. There are no significant gaps between tests, and the regular intervals suggest the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than left unused for extended periods. The most notable mileage jump occurred between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where the odometer increased by 8,448 miles in a year, yet this remains within typical expectations for a vehicle of this age. The absence of early MOT failures or advisories further implies that basic maintenance—such as tyre rotation, brake servicing, and fluid changes—has likely been adhered to, though this cannot be confirmed without service records. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these components degrade over time and may exhibit wear even without MOT failings. The brakes, though not flagged in past tests, should be assessed for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs—common issues on older Audi models. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and frame rigidity, must also be scrutinised, especially around the wheel arches and sills, where rust can compromise safety without immediate MOT consequences. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive corrosion, as emissions-related failures are often the first signs of underlying mechanical neglect.
