2017 AUDI Q32.0L Diesel

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward neglect in recent months. While the car passed its October 2025 MOT test at 56,484 miles, it returned with multiple advisories that were absent in previous years. The transition from a clean sheet in 2024 to a list of mechanical and rubber defects in 2025 suggests that proactive maintenance has declined as the vehicle aged despite low mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-use urban driving, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year over the nine-year period. Between September 2022 at 35,877 miles and October 2025 at 56,484 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 20,600 miles. This low annual mileage often leads to the premature degradation of rubber-based components, such as the perished tyres and poor wiper performance noted in the most recent records, rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the nearside front lower suspension arm, as the 2025 test flagged a worn pin or bush. This component requires attention to prevent further steering instability or uneven tyre wear. The reported corrosion on front and rear brake discs alongside the low coolant level indicate the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or suffered from neglected fluid checks. A physical inspection of the cooling system for leaks and a check of the brake hardware are essential, as the edge wear on the nearside tyres also suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushings.
