AUDI A12018 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in consumable management. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 51,693 miles passed, it revealed multiple advisories for three tyres being near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This indicates a pattern of deferred basic maintenance compared to the clean records seen in 2021 and 2023, where no defects were noted. The mileage profile is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There was a significant gap of 10,000 miles between August 2021 and August 2022, followed by a more rapid accumulation of over 7,000 miles between September 2023 and January 2025. The low overall mileage generally suggests less strain on the drivetrain and structural components, but the varying intervals of use imply the car may have sat for extended periods, which can lead to flat-spotting or degradation of rubber-related components. A buyer must inspect the wheel alignment and suspension geometry due to the recurring reports of edge wear on multiple tyres across the 2022, 2025, and 2026 tests. This persistent wear pattern suggests a tracking issue or worn suspension bushes that has not been addressed by previous owners. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding items obstructing the driver's view requires a physical check of the cabin layout to ensure all safety standards are met. No serious structural corrosion or mechanical failures have been flagged, so the focus remains on the tyres and suspension-related wear.
