2013 AUDI A11.4L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding suspension and tyre condition. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 79,224 miles identified multiple defects including a severely deteriorated nearside front outer CV boot and worn rear tyres. While the car passed, the recurring nature of suspension arm bush wear noted across 2024 and 2025 indicates that components are reaching the end of their functional life. At 79,224 miles over thirteen years, the Audi has averaged approximately 6,100 miles per year, which is consistent with low-mileage urban usage. The mileage progression shows steady use, with roughly 9,000 miles driven between the October 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 9,000 miles between 2024 and 2025. This consistent rate suggests the vehicle is used regularly, though the age-related degradation of rubber components is showing despite the relatively low total mileage. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension assembly, as the tester flagged worn bushes on both front sides in the last two tests. The deteriorated CV boot noted in 2025 requires immediate attention to prevent grease leakage and subsequent driveshaft joint failure. Additionally, the 2022 failure revealed a fractured offside rear coil spring and binding rear brakes; while these were repaired, a physical inspection should check for signs of uneven pad wear or persistent caliper sticking. The tyre condition is another recurring concern. The history of tyres being near the legal limit in 2022, 2023, and 2025 suggests a pattern of delaying consumable replacements until they reach critical levels. The edge wear reported in the 2025 test may also indicate an alignment issue stemming from the worn suspension bushes. Any prospective buyer should be prepared to budget for a full set of tyres and front suspension refurbishment to ensure the vehicle remains safe and stable.
