2015 AUDI Q31.4L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend has shifted from a clean record to a worsening pattern of neglected consumables. The most recent test on 16 September 2025 at 59,104 miles passed, but the tester flagged several concerns. These include thin front brake pads, pitted or scored front discs, and a corroded nearside rear brake pipe. The presence of worn suspension arm bushes on both the nearside and offside front further indicates a decline in mechanical condition. The mileage is notably low for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,373 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 13,488 miles in September 2018 to 59,104 miles in September 2025. There are no suspicious mileage drops or sudden spikes, suggesting consistent but light usage. This low mileage often preserves the interior and engine, but it can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid-related corrosion due to inactivity. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and front suspension. The front brake pads and discs were flagged as worn in both October 2024 and September 2025, proving the previous owner ignored these advisories for a full year. This suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. The corroded nearside rear brake pipe is a particular point of concern as it may require immediate replacement to prevent fluid leaks. The front lower suspension arm bushes have also become a recurring issue. The offside bush was first noted in October 2024, and by September 2025, both the nearside and offside bushes were worn. This indicates a progressive deterioration of the front end. A technician should verify if the suspension components require full replacement or if the wear remains within acceptable limits for a vehicle of this age.
