AUDI A42017 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a consistent history of passes, yet recent records reveal a pattern of minor electrical and mechanical maintenance neglect. The most recent test in March 2026 at 129,943 miles identified a non-functional nearside side repeater and an insecure front undertray. The side repeater fault is a recurring issue, appearing in both the 2024 and 2026 tests, suggesting a lack of attention to minor exterior electrical components between annual inspections. While these are not major failures, their persistence indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. At 129,943 miles over nine years, this Audi has averaged approximately 14,400 miles per year, which sits above the national average for its age. This high mileage places significant demand on the drivetrain and suspension components. The March 2025 test at 116,265 miles flagged a fluctuating nearside front service brake and noted front tyres wearing prematurely on the inner edges. Inner tyre wear typically points to incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes, both of which require professional investigation to prevent further degradation of expensive consumables. The transition from a clean record in 2022 at 73,537 miles to recurring mechanical and electrical advisories suggests the vehicle is entering a phase of increased maintenance wear and tear. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry for play and verify if the owner has performed a professional wheel alignment to address the uneven tyre wear. The structural integrity remains unflagged based on the data, but the high mileage combined with recurring minor defects necessitates a thorough mechanical check of the braking system and underbody before purchase.
