2015 AUDI A11.4L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding reactive rather than proactive repairs. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 58,325 miles, this followed a failure just five days prior. The transition from a failure involving a corroded front brake hose and a failing front suspension arm bush to a pass suggests the necessary work was completed, but the owner only addressed these faults once they reached the point of legal failure. At 58,325 miles, this eleven-year-old Audi has covered significantly less distance than the average vehicle, averaging roughly 5,300 miles annually. The data shows consistent usage, with approximately 8,500 miles driven between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 8,500 miles in the following year. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals due to age, which appears consistent with the recurring failures of suspension bushes and brake hardware despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the offside front arm bush was flagged twice in late 2024 and late 2025. The tester also noted excessive corrosion on the brake hose ferrule, which indicates environmental vulnerability or neglect. The rear braking system requires immediate attention; the November 2025 test recorded thin brake pads and worn discs on both rear wheels. Although these did not cause a failure that time, the components are nearing the end of their functional life. Verify the remaining pad thickness and check for any surface pitting on the nearside and offside rear discs to determine if immediate replacement is required upon purchase.
