2017 Audi A4 1.4L Petrol · YT67 TNF

The 2017 Audi A4 presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 15 May 2025 at 83,751 miles passing with zero defects. This is a strong indicator of consistent upkeep. The vehicle has not accumulated any advisories or failures across its entire recorded history, suggesting the previous owner addressed wear items proactively rather than allowing faults to persist. For a car approaching nine years old, this is an unusually unblemished record. The mileage progression tells a coherent story. Between the August 2022 test at 50,786 miles and the July 2023 test at 59,703 miles, the car covered roughly 8,900 miles in eleven months. From July 2023 to June 2024, it added 9,184 miles, and then sat almost entirely static for nearly a full year, recording 83,751 miles in May 2025 against the same figure logged in June 2024. That plateau suggests the vehicle saw very little use over the past twelve months, which can be a double-edged sword. Short dormant periods risk brake disc surface corrosion, tyre flat-spotting, and dried-out rubber seals, even if no faults surfaced at the last test. Despite the clean paperwork, a buyer should still inspect the underside for early corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and around the rear arches, as these are common failure areas on the B9-generation A4 as they age. Check the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pads, since standing or low-mileage use can cause uneven pad deposits or lipping even when the car passes its MOT. Examine all four tyres for date codes and sidewall perishing, particularly if the car has been sitting for extended periods. The 2.0-litre TFSI engine in this generation is generally robust, but a cold start inspection will reveal any timing chain rattle or turbo wastegate hesitation that a standard MOT does not assess. The dual June 2024 entries, a failure followed by a pass on consecutive days at virtually identical mileage, likely reflect a minor rectification such as a blown bulb or a loose number plate rather than a mechanical concern. No recurring faults appear in the record, so there is no evidence of a worsening trend. Overall, this Audi A4 shows the hallmarks of careful ownership, but the recent low usage demands a focused physical inspection of rubber components, brakes, and bodywork before purchase.
