AUDI A32009 · 1.9L DIESEL

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-11 recorded two headlamp lens defects and a nearside front brake disc worn, pitted, or scored. These issues align with a recurring pattern of brake disc wear observed in prior MOTs, though the 2025 test did not note similar problems on the offside disc. The 2024 MOT highlighted both front brake discs in a similar condition, while the 2023 test documented rear and front disc wear. This suggests progressive deterioration of brake components, potentially linked to high mileage and extended use. A consistent trend of suspension and steering-related issues emerges, including deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage dust covers (2024), worn suspension arm bushes (2023), and slight anti-roll bar play (2021). These defects, while not immediately critical, indicate aging components that may require monitoring. The 2022 MOT showed no defects, but subsequent tests reveal a gradual increase in wear-related findings, pointing to a worsening condition over time. The vehicle’s mileage of 227,245 miles for a 17-year-old car equates to approximately 13,367 miles annually, which is high for its age. This could imply frequent use, increasing wear on consumables and mechanical systems. However, without additional context on driving habits or storage, the exact impact of mileage remains ambiguous.
