Our Verdict

Exercise extreme caution. This vehicle h

The primary priority is to establish why this vehicle has not had an MOT since June 2022. A car that has been stationary for several years often suffers from seized brake calipers, perished tyres, and battery failure. You must verify the current legal status of the vehicle and ensure it is roadworthy before any funds are exchanged.

Negotiate the price aggressively to account for the inevitable cost of a full comprehensive service and the likely need for new tyres and fluids after long-term storage. Ensure you check the service book for any entries that coincide with the gap in MOT history to see if any maintenance was performed while off the road.

The 1968cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys, though older diesels can face higher maintenance costs as they age. Tax will be based on the 2008 emissions brackets, and insurance typically falls into a mid-range group for this model.

Typical annual costs will include diesel fuel, road tax, and insurance, alongside the necessity for regular oil and filter changes. Given the age of the vehicle and the gap in its history, initial maintenance costs to return it to a usable state will be higher than average.

Carefully inspect the offside front brake discs, as these were specifically cited as worn, pitted, or scored during the 2022 MOT failure. Check the windscreen washer system to ensure the previous failure has been permanently rectified.

Referencing model aggregate data, pay close attention to the coil springs and suspension arms, which are common failure points for the Audi A4. Given the potential for long-term storage, check for signs of rodent damage to the wiring and the condition of the rubber seals and tyres.

This silver 2008 Audi A4 diesel shows a recorded mileage of 94,724 miles as of its last test in 2022, which is significantly below the model's average annual mileage. However, the total absence of MOT data for the last four years is a critical concern. The available history shows a failure in 2022 related to braking and washer components.

The Audi A4 has an average MOT pass rate of 80.8% across 307,017 vehicles, with frequent failures involving coil springs and suspension arms.
