2015 AUDI A12.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on 4 May 2026 at 44,465 miles. The maintenance trend has shifted from a period of stability to a recent decline in suspension health. A failure on 2 May 2026 highlighted worn front suspension arm bushes and excessive wear in the Macpherson strut top bearings on both sides. These issues were rectified within two days to secure the current certificate. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eleven year old car, averaging roughly 4,042 miles per year. The record shows a consistent, low-intensity usage pattern, with the odometer moving from 38,172 miles in September 2022 to 44,465 miles by May 2026. This indicates the car has likely spent significant time stationary or been used for very short journeys, which can sometimes mask deterioration in rubber components until they fail due to age rather than wear. A buyer should specifically verify the quality of the recent suspension repairs. Since the front suspension arm pins and strut top bearings failed simultaneously on both sides in May 2026, it is essential to ensure high-quality replacement parts were used rather than a quick fix to pass the test. Given the low mileage and the recent suspension failures, an in-person inspection should focus on other age-related rubber perishables. Check for perished tyre sidewalls or leaking shock absorbers, as these components often degrade over time regardless of the low distance covered. The lack of previous advisories suggests a generally well-kept vehicle, but the sudden appearance of multiple suspension faults points to the onset of age-related wear.
