2004 Audi A4 2.5L Diesel · VU04 HPA

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 11 November 2025 at 96,296 miles returned a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This consistency extends back through the previous four years, indicating that the vehicle is maintained to a standard that avoids the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in older German. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a vehicle from 2004, averaging approximately 4,377 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the car covered just 7,278 miles, representing a consistent annual increase of roughly 1,800 miles. This low usage suggests light-term operation. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid-related issues which are not always captured in a standard MOT test. Despite the clean electronic history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components prone to age-related perish-wear. Inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyres for cracking or uneven wear, as these dry out regardless of mileage. Check the brake discs for pitting and ensure the calipers are not seized due to infrequent use. Furthermore, given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the structural sills and wheel arches for corrosion is essential, as the MOT only flags rust once it has reached a point of structural failure.
