AUDI A42014 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 109,266 miles passed despite a noted corrosion on the rear sub-frame. While the tester determined that structural rigidity was not yet compromised, the presence of corrosion on a primary load-bearing component suggests a developing issue that requires consistent monitoring to prevent a future structural failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,100 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 83,952 miles and the 2025 test at 109,266 miles, the car covered 25,314 miles, showing a steady rate of operation without significant gaps or sudden spikes in the testing interval. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not been left sitting for long periods, which typically helps prevent accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the rear sub-frame to assess if the surface rust has progressed since the last advisory. The recurring reports of thin rear brake pads across the 2023 and 2024 tests indicate a pattern of delaying brake service until components approach the legal limit. Furthermore, the uneven tyre wear noted on the front axle in 2024 suggests potential issues with wheel alignment, suspension geometry, or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to avoid premature wear of new tyres.
