2002 Audi A4 2.5L Diesel · YT02 ACY

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 19 May 2025 at 112,700 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently met the minimum standard over the last three successful tests. While the record shows failures in both 2024 and 2025, the immediate passes suggest that identified faults were rectified by the owner rather than indicating a pattern of escalating mechanical neglect. The mileage profile is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Between April 2023 and May 2024, the car covered 2,336 miles, followed by another 1,673 miles recorded between May 2024 and May 2025. This consistent low-mileage usage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it frequently causes rubber-based components like suspension bushes, tyres, and engine seals to perish due to age and oxidation rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the integrity of the chassis and subframes, as older Audi models are historically prone to corrosion in the rear subframe mounts and trailing arms. Given the low annual mileage, the tester should specifically check for perished brake hoses and seized calipers that result from long periods of inactivity. The recurring failures without recorded defects in the history suggest the previous failures may have been minor items such as bulbs or emissions fluctuations, which the owner addressed immediately prior to re-test.
