2006 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · WG56 AEJ

The Audi A4 presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent test on 12 September 2025 at 156,994 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. On 30 August 2022 the vehicle initially failed at 135,824 miles yet the same day passed with no defects logged, indicating a non-mechanical or procedural rejection promptly resolved. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a 20-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 135,824 miles on 30 August 2022, rose to 145,294 by 23 October 2023, then 151,319 on 15 October 2024, and 156,994 on 12 September 2025. Annual accumulation has eased from roughly 9,500 miles in the 2022 to 2023 period to near 5,700 miles in the latest year, reflecting lighter recent use. The record is sparse on detail but clean, with no advisories across four subsequent passes. Despite the absent flagged defects, a buyer should physically inspect age-sensitive components given the car's two decades and 156,994 miles. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, check brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and assess subframe and sills for corrosion. The tester logged no structural integrity concerns, yet moisture and road salt exposure over time can hide rust not captured in a pass. Previous owners appear to have maintained statutory testing without neglect, as evidenced by consecutive annual certificates and no outstanding minor consumable warnings like tyre tread or wiper blades. The same-day fail and pass in 2022 suggests basic administrative diligence rather than skipped upkeep. A pre-purchase inspection remains prudent to confirm the MOT silence translates to sound mechanical condition.
