2014 AUDI Q32.0L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deteriorating suspension and braking components. While the most recent test on 28 July 2026 at 105,152 miles passed, it followed a failure just four miles prior due to multiple critical issues. The persistence of nearside front shock absorber misting and recurring corrosion on the offside rear lower suspension arm across last three years of testing suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they reach an MOT failure threshold rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle used for moderate annual mileages, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation over time, moving from 32,605 miles in July 2017 to 105,152 miles in July 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing history, but the frequency of failures in 2023, 2025, and 2026 indicates that the vehicle is now experiencing age-related wear and tear on its structural rubber and metal components. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the lower suspension geometry, specifically the offside rear lateral arm, which has been flagged for corrosion since 2025. The braking system shows a history of neglect, with pitted and scored discs and corroded brake hose ferrules appearing in the 2026 record. Given the previous failures for fractured coil springs and worn strut top bushes in 2023, the entire front suspension assembly should be checked for play or perished perishedwork to ensure no further hidden components are nearing failure.
