2007 Audi A4 SE TDI 170 2.0L Diesel · VBZ 8638

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent test on 1 December 2025 at 250,540 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available record reads as stable, showing clean passes in December 2024 and July 2023 alongside two anomalous failures that listed no faults. In the November 2024 test at 243,394 miles the examiner issued a fail yet noted no defects; five days later the car passed at 243,434 miles. A similar pattern occurred in July 2023, failing on the 5th at 228,825 miles with no defects, then passing on the 15th at 229,171 miles. At roughly 13,186 miles per year over its 19-year life, this Audi shows high cumulative mileage for its age, reflecting sustained use rather than long storage. The record spans only five tests between July 2023 and December 2025, leaving earlier history undocumented. From the July 2023 pass at 229,171 miles to the December 2024 pass at 243,434 miles the odometer advanced 14,263 miles, a typical annual rate. The subsequent year to December 2025 added just 7,106 miles, indicating a slight reduction in use. No rapid accumulation spikes appear in the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and consumable wear given the 250,540-mile figure. The MOT history flags no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or corrosion, but high mileage inevitably loads these components. The two no-defect failures merit investigation: request the full DVSA failure reasons, as they may concern non-mechanical items such as lighting or documentation that the summarised record omits. Examine underneath for structural rust, check caliper operation and disc wear, and assess tyre condition despite no recorded tread failures. Previous ownership appears to have maintained statutory test compliance, though the repeated clean sheets could mask wear not yet at test threshold.
