AUDI A42018 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent test in June 2025 at 89,379 miles. The maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive repairs to minor cosmetic observations. While the 2024 test returned no defects, the 2025 inspection identified a damaged nearside front inner arch liner and a loose offside rear brake backing plate. These issues do not indicate immediate mechanical failure but suggest a lack of attention to minor bodywork components. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. There is a steady progression in the odometer, moving from 46,773 miles in 2022 to 75,475 miles in 2024, and finally to nearly 90,000 miles in mid-2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than left stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the health of rubber seals and engine components. The history reveals a specific lapse regarding preventative maintenance in June 2023. At 62,571 miles, the car failed due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring and front tyres worn to the legal limit. The fractured spring is a common fatigue failure on these models, but the uneven tyre wear indicates a potential alignment or suspension issue. A buyer should inspect the current suspension geometry for signs of further wear and verify that the spring replacement was followed by a professional alignment to prevent premature damage to new tyres.
