2015 AUDI A52.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 83,118 miles identified several issues regarding tyres and structural integrity that were absent in the previous year. While the car passed the test, the appearance of corrosion on the rear sub-frame and failing tyres indicates that the vehicle is beginning to show age-related degradation that will require consistent attention to prevent future test failures. At 83,118 miles over eleven years, the Audi has averaged approximately 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-intensity usage patterns. The mileage accumulation appears consistent, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between October 2024 and September 2025. However, the brief failure in October 2024 at 77,429 miles due to an ABS warning lamp suggests that electronic sensors or modules may have required intervention, though the fault was resolved within 24 hours to pass the re-test. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear sub-frame to assess the rate of corrosion corrosion noted in 2025. While the tester marked it as not seriously weakened, structural rust on Audi components of this era can accelerate if left untreated. The history also shows a pattern of neglecting consumables, as the 2022 test flagged four tyres reaching the legal limit and the 2025 test highlighted a worn nearside front tyre with a damaged sidewall. This suggests the owner often waits until components are near failure point before replacing them rather than performing scheduled maintenance.
