2018 AUDI A73.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean pass on 19 September 2025 at 89,842 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a reactive approach to consumable wear rather than proactive replacement. The failure just one day prior to that test revealed critical issues across all four tyres, including a dangerously low nearside rear tyre and exposed cords. While the vehicle passed immediately following these rectifications, the history suggests the owner only addressed essential safety items once a legal failure threshold was reached. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old luxury saloon, averaging approximately 11,230 miles per annum. The record shows steady usage with 20,617 miles covered between August 2023 and September 2024, and another 13,509 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. This consistent accumulation indicates the car is used regularly for longer distances, which typically helps prevent internal engine issues associated with sitting, though it places standard demand on the Audi's complex suspension geometry and drivetrain components. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as recurring reports of tyres worn on the edges in 2022 and 2025 suggest potential misalignment or worn suspension bushes. The history of a flat-run tyre in 2022 also warrants a close check for rim damage or bent wheels that could cause ongoing vibrations. Given the lack of recorded structural or brake failures in the history, the focus should remain on verifying the current condition of the rubber and ensuring the latest set of tyres does not suffer from the uneven wear patterns seen in previous tests.
