2017 AUDI A42.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passing MOT on April 16, 2026, though the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test passed, it initially failed at 55,997 miles due to fractured both nearside and offside rear coil springs. This indicates that repairs were made immediately to rectify a safety failure, suggesting the suspension components are reaching the end of their functional life despite the relatively low mileage. The usage pattern remains consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. The record shows 5,400 miles driven between April 2023 and April 2024, and another 6,696 miles between April 2024 and April 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not suffered from long periods ofກັບ, though the age of the vehicle makes rubber-based components and springs prone to degradation and fatigue regardless of the mileage recorded. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry and bushings. The 2024 test at 40,700 miles flagged worn front upper rear arm inner bushes, and the 2026 failure of the rear springs confirms the suspension assembly is a recurring point of concern. Check for any play in the control arms and inspect for signs of cracking in remaining rubber bushings. Given that the rear springs were recently replaced, verify that the work was completed to quality standards and that no secondary damage was caused to the shock absorbers during the installation.
