AUDI A32018 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a maintenance trend that remains stable despite emerging signs of wear. The most recent test in November 2025 at 70,720 miles identified advisories for light oil misting on both the nearside and offside rear shock absorbers. This indicates the early stages of damper failure rather than an immediate safety risk, following several years of clean records between 2022 and 2024. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,840 miles per annum. The record shows steady usage, with 13,277 miles covered between October 2022 and December 2023, followed by another 9,773 miles in the 12-month period leading to the 2024 and 2025 tests. This regular operation suggests the vehicle has been used consistently, which often helps prevent internal seals and components from seizing due to long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should inspect the rear suspension in person to determine if the misting has progressed to a significant leak that would require immediate replacement. While the 2021 test at 28,239 miles flagged multiple issues regarding perishing and uneven wear across all tyres, these were addressed as subsequent tests passed without defect. Focus should now shift to the current state of the rubber components and the structural integrity of the chassis, as no structural corrosion or brake defects have been noted in the documented history.
