2015 AUDI A11.4L Petrol

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend as it enters its eleventh year. While the most recent test on 4 June 2026 at 83,303 miles resulted in a pass, the number of advisories has increased compared to previous years. The tester flagged several issues including a slightly distorted offside rear road wheel, worn and pitted rear brake discs, and thin rear brake pads. The presence of light oil misting on both front shock absorbers has also persisted since the January 2025 test, indicating a long-term, albeit minor, leak in the damping units. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 25,773 miles in July 2018 to the current 83,303 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, though the interval between the December 2021 and January 2023 tests suggests a slight shift in testing frequency. The data shows a clear transition from a period of zero defects between 2018 and 2021 to a period of increasing consumable wear and component degradation from 2023 onwards. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The recurring advisories for thinning brake pads and pitted discs across both front and rear axles suggest that a full brake service or replacement may be imminent. The front suspension arm bushes were flagged as worn in both January 2024 and January 2025, and while they did not cause a failure, they indicate progressive wear in the front end. The ongoing oil misting on the front shock absorbers and the newly reported rear brake issues suggest the vehicle is entering a phase of more frequent maintenance requirements. The distorted rear wheel noted in June 2026 warrants a close inspection for impact damage or structural integrity issues. While the car remains roadworthy, the shift from a clean record to multiple advisories indicates that the owner must now address several mounting mechanical wear items.
