2023 Audi A4 S Line 40 Tfsi Mhev S-A 2.0L Petrol · YA72 SWZ

The most recent MOT carried out on 27 January 2026 was passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions standards at that time. With only a single MOT entry available, there is insufficient data to identify a trend, but the clean result suggests that the car has been maintained to a satisfactory level up to the date of the test. At three years old and 26 880 miles on the odometer, the Audi A4 averages roughly 8 960 miles per annum. This figure sits comfortably within the normal UK usage pattern for a compact executive saloon and does not point to either excessive wear from high mileage or the risk of component deterioration from prolonged inactivity. There are no obvious gaps in recorded mileage that would imply long periods of standing, so the wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and fluid should be consistent with typical calendar ageing rather than extreme mileage‑related fatigue. For a prospective buyer the primary checks should focus on age‑related condition. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for any cracking, dry rot or bulging and verify that the tread depth is at least 1.6 mm across the width; even with modest mileage, tyres can degrade after six years. Examine the 12‑volt battery terminals for corrosion and, if possible, have the state of charge and cranking amperage tested, as batteries begun in 2023 may be approaching the end of their service life if they have been stored or used intermittently. Look for any signs of corrosion on the wheel arches, underbody and suspension mounting points, especially around the coil springs and control‑arm bushes, which can develop rust in damp climates even when the car is not heavily driven. Finally, confirm that the scheduled service intervals have been observed, particularly the oil and filter change, which for a TFSI MHEV engine is typically due around 15 000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Brake fluid should be refreshed at least every two years, so a check of the fluid colour and level is advisable. During a test drive listen for any clunk or squeak from the suspension, monitor the steering for play, and note any shudder or pulsation when applying the brakes, which could indicate worn pads or surface corrosion on the discs. Verify that all dashboard warning lights, especially the hybrid system indicator, illuminate briefly on start‑up and then extinguish, confirming that the electronic control units are communicating correctly. If these checks are satisfactory, the car presents a mechanically sound option for its age and mileage.
