AUDI A42016 · 1.4L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile following a period of documented mechanical attention. The most recent test on 2 December 2025 at 113,005 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the issues identified in the previous year were addressed. This follows a significant failure in December 2024 at 98,884 miles, where the tester flagged a fractured nearside rear coil spring and excessively worn nearside front inner suspension arm bushes. While the subsequent pass later that month noted minor wear on the upper arm bushes, the lack of new defects since suggests the owner performed the necessary repairs to maintain roadworthiness. At 113,005 miles over ten years, this Audi A4 has averaged approximately 11,300 miles annually, which aligns closely with national averages for its age class. This consistent usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation that cause rubber degradation. However, the 2022 record at 67,264 miles showed signs of uneven tyre wear on both front and rear, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension components. The fact that suspension arm bushes appeared as early as 2022 indicates that the vehicle is reaching a stage where rubber-bound suspension components require periodic replacement. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry for any remaining signs of play or misalignment, as the history shows a trend of bushing-related wear. The fractured coil spring noted in 2024 warrants a visual check of the remaining springs to ensure no stress fractures have developed elsewhere. There are no recorded structural corrosion or brake system failures in the provided data, which focuses the concern solely on the mechanical wear of the chassis. The current record reflects an owner who responds to MOT failures rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance.
