2009 Audi A4 3.0L Diesel · YY09 CTZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having maintained a clean record over the last three years. The most recent test in June 2026 at 142,881 miles resulted in no recorded defects, following consecutive clean passes in 2024 and 2025. This trend suggests that the mechanical and safety-critical components are being maintained to a consistent standard, with the owner addressing minor issues as they arise in earlier years. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. There is a steady progression of use recorded between tests, such as the 3,638-mile gap between June 2025 and June 2026. This regular usage is generally positive for an Audi of this age, as it helps prevent the degradation of seals, rubber components, and the seizing of mechanical parts that often occurs with cars that spend long periods of sitting stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the history shows recurring instances of wear. The 2023 test flagged a thin nearside front brake pad and a faulty central upper stop lamp. While these are consumable items, the previous mention of rear brake pads in 2014 indicates that the braking system requires regular monitoring for thickness and potential binding of calipers. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough look at the underside for structural corrosion and worn suspension bushes is also advisable, as the MOT record does not capture early-stage rust until it reaches a failure threshold.
