AUDI A32012 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in June 2025 at 101,348 miles passed only after a significant failure just one day prior. That failure highlighted critical issues, including a fractured nearside rear coil spring and multiple tyre failures, including exposed cords. While the car met the minimum standard recently, the nature of these faults suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical defects once they reach a breaking point. The recorded mileage of 101,348 miles over 14 years averages to approximately 7,239 miles per year, which is consistent with a low-to-moderate commuter vehicle. The data shows a steady annual usage pattern, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and approximately 8,400 miles between June 2023 and June 2024. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has not been sitting stationary, though rubber components may suffer from age-related degradation despite the low mileage. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. The history shows recurring issues with the rear end, specifically the offside front anti-roll bar linkage play in 2024 and the broken coil spring in 2025. The pitted offside rear brake disc noted in 2024 indicates that the braking components may be nearing the end of their effective life. Furthermore, the repeated mentions of uneven tyre wear edges across 2022 and 2025 suggest a persistent wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require professional investigation to prevent premature replacement of new tyres.
