2016 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · VN16 ABO

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on October 8, 2025, 175,157 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows consistent clean passes following initial failures in previous years. While the vehicle failed tests in both 2023 and 2025, the subsequent passes without recorded defects suggest that any issues identified by the tester were rectified before the retests. The mileage profile indicates high intensity for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 17,500 miles per annum. Between September 2023 at 150,825 miles and October 2024 at 164,127 miles, the car covered over 13,000 miles in just thirteen months. A further 11,000 miles were recorded before the following October test. This consistent high-mile usage puts significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system, which typically wear faster than lower-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lower suspension and steering components, as high mileage often accelerates the degradation of rubber bushes, control arms, and coil springs. Given the mileage accumulation, a thorough check of the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for binding is also essential. Although the MOT record does not list structural advisories, the age and usage levels necessitate a close look at the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the mounting points, ensuring structural integrity remains sound despite the heavy use.
