2014 AUDI A32.0L Diesel

The vehicle failed its most recent MOT on 23 October 2025 at 151,106 miles, with the tester flagging a near‑side front tyre with exposed ply or cords, an off‑side front tyre worn close to the legal limit, and an excessively worn near‑side front suspension arm ball joint. These defects constitute a failure, meaning the car is not presently roadworthy. The pattern of repeated tyre wear and suspension faults over the past two years shows a worsening trend rather than stability or improvement. Covering a 12‑year lifespan, the recorded mileage of 151,106 equates to roughly 12,600 miles per year, well above the average for a vehicle of this age. Mileage accelerated sharply after 2020, rising from 66,075 miles in October 2020 to 86,213 miles by October 2021, and then to 141,207 miles by October 2024, before reaching the current 151,106 miles in October 2025. The presence of two tests on the same day at identical mileage suggests recent intensive use. A buyer should inspect the suspension system thoroughly, paying close attention to the front ball joint, bushes and coil springs for play or corrosion, and verify that any previous wear has been remedied. The recurring tyre defects indicate a need to examine tread depth, wheel alignment and possible suspension mis‑alignment. Rear brake condition must be checked, especially the pitted disc noted in 2020 and the thin pads recorded then, as well as the current state of the rear tyres which have shown edge wear. Structural rust on the chassis, wheel arches and underbody should be assessed, along with the condition of the exhaust system and any previous advisories such as insufficient washer fluid. Given the high annual mileage and the documented wear on critical components, the buyer should confirm that all failed items have been replaced, review service records for timely tyre changes and brake maintenance, and consider a professional chassis inspection to detect hidden corrosion or structural damage that could affect long‑term reliability.
