2020 Audi A4 Technik 35 Tfsi Mhev S-A 2.0L Petrol · KM70 SNK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on 23 December 2025. However, the maintenance history shows a recent mechanical failure where the car failed just one day prior on 22 December 2025 due to a serious fluid leak from the nearside rear shock absorber. While the fault was rectified to secure a pass within twenty-four hours, the trend indicates that specific suspension components have reached the end of life despite the low overall mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between October 2023 at 5,381 miles and December 2025 at 23,753 miles, during which the car covered nearly 18,000 miles in two years. This pattern suggests periods of long standing or very limited annual use. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to flat-spotting, seized brake calipers, or the degradation of rubber seals and bushes over time. A buyer must physically inspect the nearside rear suspension to ensure the replacement shock absorber was fitted correctly and that no further leaks are present. Given the low usage, it is also vital to check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when vehicles are not driven frequently. The condition of the tyres should be examined for sidewall cracking, as age-related degradation often affects rubber before tread wear becomes significant on low-mileage cars.
