AUDI A52007 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 June 2026 with no defects recorded at 152,525 miles. This marks a clear improvement from the previous year, where minor wear advisories were issued, and represents a stable trend following a serious structural failure in April 2024. The absence of any advisories or failures in the latest test suggests the repairs made after the coil spring failure were effective and that routine maintenance has been addressed since. The mileage progression is consistent with the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between the April 2023 and April 2024 tests, the car accumulated 8,213 miles, which is normal. However, there was a notable gap of just five days between the failed MOT on 11 April 2024 and the subsequent pass on 16 April 2024, indicating the coil spring issue was repaired promptly. The jump from 136,700 to 145,008 miles over 13 months in 2024–2025 is also within expected usage, and the final 7,517-mile increase to the current test confirms regular use without prolonged inactivity. A buyer must inspect the front suspension thoroughly, particularly the coil springs and associated mounts, as the failure of both front springs in 2024 is a significant event that may point to underlying corrosion, poor-quality replacements, or long-term fatigue. The repeated advisories on brake pads—thin on all four corners in 2023 and the rear pads again in 2025—suggest braking components are being replaced reactively rather than proactively, so the discs should be checked for excessive wear or scoring. The tyre wear patterns, flagged on all four corners over two consecutive tests, indicate possible misalignment, underinflation, or worn suspension components affecting contact patch. These are not new issues but recurring symptoms that require physical verification of geometry, bushings, and wheel bearings.
