AUDI A82009 · 3.0L Diesel

The 2026-06-18 verdict is a roadworthiness verdict of pass , but the maintenance trend is improving relative to the most recent test, which was passed on 2025-07-17. The vehicle demonstrates a clear improvement in mechanical health compared to the 2024-07-19 inspection, where the front headlamp failed and the front brake disc showed signs of wear. This shift indicates that the vehicle has been maintained and serviced appropriately since the 2025-07-17 test, suggesting that the mechanical condition has stabilized or improved. The mileage pattern reflects a stable trend despite the vehicle being approximately 17 years old. The 2023-01-02 test on 91,146 miles was a passing inspection with no defects, establishing a baseline for the 2021-08-24 test on 86,614 miles. The 2024-07-19 test on 92,519 miles failed, but this is likely due to the specific faults noted on the 2025-07-17 test rather than a decline in the vehicle's overall condition. The gap between these dates suggests that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical integrity for a significant period, with only the specific front headlamp and brake issues recorded. For the buyer, the key focus should be on the brake system and suspension , as these components are the most likely candidates for inspection based on the recurring faults. The 2024-07-19 test flagged binding rear brakes and the 2025-07-17 test highlighted thin rear brake pads, indicating that the braking system may require attention. A thorough inspection is recommended to check for structural integrity in the suspension bushings and coil springs, as well as to verify the condition of the front brake discs and the rear brake pads. If the brakes appear sound, the vehicle is considered roadworthier, but the buyer must be prepared for potential future work on these components.
