2013 AUDI A31.6L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in October 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The failure in September 2025 at 134,129 miles due to a fractured offside rear coil spring was rectified quickly, as the car passed two days later. This suggests the owner addresses immediate safety-critical faults once they are flagged by the tester. At 134,129 miles over thirteen years, the Audi has averaged approximately 10,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The accumulation is consistent, with a 5,831-mile interval between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 6,198 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle is not prone to long periods of stationary neglect which often lead to component degradation. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The October 2024 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn on the edge often points to alignment issues or worn shock absorbers. Similarly, the 2022 report of a fluctuating nearside front service brake indicates the potential for warped brake discs or a sticking caliper. Given the age and the previous spring failure, checking for perished rubber suspension bushes and excessive corrosion on the subframe is essential to ensure no further structural wear is developing.
