AUDI A42018 · 1.4L PETROL

The 2018 Audi A4 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2026-06-26 confirming no defects at 87,332 miles. Previous tests reveal minor, addressable issues rather than systemic failures. The 2024-06-28 test noted front brake pads wearing thin, while 2023-06-16 highlighted multiple tyres approaching legal limits or showing perishing. These findings suggest routine maintenance was prioritized, though some wear indicators imply occasional neglect. The absence of defects in the latest test indicates effective resolution of prior concerns. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging ~10,916 miles annually. The 2022-06-24 test at 19,528 miles showed no defects, followed by steady increases to 32,419 (2023), 54,836 (2024), 73,114 (2025), and 87,332 (2026). Notably, the 2023-06-16 test recorded four tyres with perishing and edge wear, suggesting potential oversight in tyre maintenance. The 2024-06-28 test’s brake pad advisory indicates a recurring but manageable issue. No significant gaps or rapid mileage surges are evident, reflecting consistent usage patterns. A buyer should inspect the tyres for continued perishing or uneven wear, as historical data highlights their vulnerability. Brake components, particularly the front pads, warrant scrutiny to confirm they have been replaced or are within safe limits. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers should be checked for age-related degradation, common in vehicles of this vintage. Structural corrosion, especially in the underbody, merits attention given the car’s age, though no such issues were recorded in recent tests. The absence of exhaust emissions or structural integrity advisories in the latest MOT supports the vehicle’s overall reliability.
