2005 Audi A4 3.0L Diesel · YB54 AEZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 9 May 2023 at an unrecorded mileage, which remains the most recent entry in the DVSA database. The record shows a pattern of initial failure followed by a subsequent pass in both 2022 and 2023. While the final outcome of these tests was positive, the recurring failure cycle suggests that the vehicle required remedial attention immediately prior to certification in consecutive years. With no MOT recorded for over three years as of August 2026, the current roadworthiness status is unverified and the vehicle lacks a recent inspection to confirm its present condition. The recorded mileage of 209,469 miles over a 21-year lifespan averages approximately 9,975 miles per annum, which aligns with standard usage expectations for a vehicle of this age. The absence of data between May 2023 and August 2026 represents a significant gap in the official inspection history. Without an active MOT record for this period, there is no evidence to confirm whether the vehicle has been operated, stored, or maintained during these three years. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection of all major mechanical and structural components, as the current MOT history lacks specific detail on advisories or component wear. Given the high mileage, focus on the integrity of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these are common wear items on the Audi A4 platform. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for signs of binding or corrosion resulting from potential long-term inactivity. A comprehensive check for structural corrosion on the subframes and sills is also necessary, as these areas are prone to degradation in older models regardless of previous test outcomes. Buying score: 35. Risk level: High.
