2006 Audi A4 4.2L Petrol · XR54 KAL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 11 September 2024 at 58,900 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and environmental standards. Following a single failure in August 2021, the vehicle has maintained a clean pass record without advisories, suggesting that previous owners addressed any issues promptly and maintained the mechanical integrity. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,945 miles per year. Between September 2019 and September 2024, the car covered only 14,581 miles, reflecting a history of infrequent use or long periods of storage. This low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking components, though it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber-based parts and fluids that may degrade over time regardless of distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to dry rot and corrosion despite low mileage. Check the condition of the suspension bushes, rubber boots, and tyre sidewalls for cracking, as these often perish on vehicles that sit stationary. Given the age of the Audi A4, examine the chassis for structural rust, particularly around the subframe and mounting points, as the MOT record does not account for the depth of surface oxidation over two decades.
