2009 AUDI Q52.0L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward suspension-related wear. Following the most recent test in July 2025 at 96,093 miles, the car passed despite advisories for worn front lower suspension arm bushes on both sides. This represents a progression from the July 2024 failure where the tester flagged two fractured front coil springs. While the immediate failures were rectified, the recurring issues suggest the front suspension components are reaching their functional limit. At 17 years old, the recorded 96,093 miles reflect a low annual average of approximately 5,653 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between 2022 and 2025, with the vehicle covering roughly 9,300 miles over that three-year period. This low-mileage profile often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components due to age rather than mechanical stress, which explains why bushes and springs are showing fatigue despite the relatively low odometer reading for a 2009-year-era vehicle. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry closely to verify the condition of the arm bushes and coil springs noted in the 2024 and 2025 records. The recurring advisories for rear inner tyres being worn to the legal limit across both 2024 and 2025 indicate a persistent alignment issue or worn rear shock absorbers that have not been addressed. You should also check for uneven tyre wear across the axle to ensure that the low mileage has not masked underlying mechanical failures or structural-related corrosion.
