2017 AUDI A62.0L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward mechanical wear-related failures. The most recent test on 10 March 2026 at 104,643 miles resulted in a failure due to ineffective windscreen wipers and worn rear-most front suspension arm bushes. While the vehicle passedion after these rectifications, the presence of suspension defects indicates that the front end components are reaching the end of their functional life and require ongoing monitoring. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, moving from 57,415 miles in March 2023 to 71,605 miles in March 2024, followed by a significant jump of 33,038 miles to reach 104,643 miles by March 2026. This consistent usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and tyres noted in the history. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry closely, as the tester flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front arms in the latestion. These rubber-related issues can lead to steering instability and uneven tyre wear if not addressed. The history also reveals a recurring pattern of poor tyre maintenance, with 2024 and 2025 tests flagging multiple tyres nearing legal limits or showing edge wear. This suggests a potential alignment issue or a habit of delaying consumable replacement. The buyer should also verify the artwork wiper motor and blades to ensure the 2026 failure was fully resolved with high-quality parts rather than a temporary fix.
