2014 AUDI A73.0L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows the first signs of wear after several years of clean records. The test in July 2025 at 68,330 miles introduced two advisories regarding the offside front suspension arm pin or bush and an offside front tyre worn near the legal limit. While these did not result in a failure, they indicate that the vehicle's rubber components and tyres are beginning to reach their limit due to age rather than high mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2024, the car showed consistent usage patterns, moving from 50,520 miles to 63,983 miles. This low annual mileage suggests less mechanical strain on the engine and braking system, but it often leads to the degradation of suspension bushings and seals through time and exposure, which aligns with the arm wear noted in the most recent MOT inspection. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front suspension assembly to determine the extent of the bushing wear flagged by the tester in July 2025. Although the movement was not excessive at the time, these components can deteriorate rapidly, leading to handling instability or uneven tyre wear. The offside tyre also requires immediate attention as it was recorded as being near the legal limit. Given the low mileage, a thorough check for checkrelated cracking in rubber components and tyre dry rot is wise, as these issues are common in vehicles that sit for long periods.
