2016 AUDI A32.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT history indicates a decline in proactive maintenance compared to previous years. In the February 2024 test at 63,614 miles, the Audi failed initially due to thin offside rear brake pads and a dangerous offside front tyre with exposed cords. While it passed upon re-test the same day, the presence of these faults suggests the owner only addressed mechanical issues once forced by a test failure rather than performing routine inspections. The mileage pattern remains remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. There is a clear gap of 10,443 miles between the 2022 test (53,171 miles) and the 2024 test (63,614 miles), which reflects steady usage patterns. Between 2020 and 2022, the car maintained a clean record with no recorded defects, suggesting that the core mechanical and structural components were in a well-preserved state during that period of its mid-life cycle. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the 2024 advisory for a nearside front tyre worn on the inner edge often indicates incorrect alignment or worn suspension bushes. Given the failure regarding thin rear brake pads, a physical check of the rear caliper condition is necessary to ensure the pistons have not seized from lack of use. Since no structural corrosion or exhaust leaks were noted in the history, the primary chassis integrity appears sound, but the recent shift toward reactive maintenance necessitates a thorough look at consumable wear items.
