AUDI A62015 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding mechanical and suspension components. While it passed its latest test in October 2025 at 107,694 miles, the tester identified a severely deteriorated offside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover along with pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs. This follows a significant failure in October 2024 where the car presented multiple critical issues including an inoperative engine management light, leaking rear shock absorbers, and excessively worn suspension bushes. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,800 miles per year. The record shows a period of relative stability between 2022 and 2023, where no defects were noted at 63,949 miles and 77,354 miles. However, the interval of roughly 30,000 miles between October 2023 and October 2024 coincides with the onset of hardware wear, suggesting the vehicle has entered a phase where high-mileage components components require more frequent replacement. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the entire suspension geometry, as the recurring failures of bushes and ball joints across 2024 and 2025 indicate systemic wear of rubber components. The pitting and scoring on the brake discs noted in the most recent test suggest the rotors are nearing the end of their functional life and likely require replacement alongside the pads. Additionally, the previous inner-edge wear on the offside rear tyre from 2024 points to potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushings that should be verified to prevent premature degradation of new tyres.
