AUDI A12019 · 1.5L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in February 2025 at 26,601 miles flagged thin front brake pads on both sides. This represents a progression from the March 2024 test, where the vehicle passed without brake-related defects, suggesting that the braking system is now reaching a natural wear interval that requires immediate attention. The mileage profile shows a low-usage pattern, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year over its seven-year life. There is a significant gap of 8,100 miles between the June 2022 test at 14,577 miles and the March 2024 test at 22,677 miles. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can lead to degradation of rubber-based components and tyre spotting. The 2024 advisory noting three tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven edge wear suggests the buyer should inspect the wheel geometry and suspension alignment to ensure components are not prematurely prematurely. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front braking assembly, as the tester specifically identified thin pads in the latest record. The buyer should also verify the condition of the tyres, as the previous uneven wear patterns in 2024 indicate a potential alignment issue. Given the low annual mileage, it is also necessary to check for sidewall cracking on the tyres and corrosion on the brake discs, as long periods of standing can lead to surface rust that affects stopping performance.
