2013 AUDI A11.4L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding front suspension integrity. While the car passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 101,769 miles, the preceding failure on that same day revealed critical defects. The tester flagged the nearside front lower suspension arm pin or bush as likely to detach, alongside a worn offside front bush. This suggests that the suspension components have undergone progressive wear that finally reached a point of mechanical failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 6,403 miles between the January 2024 test at 80,013 miles and the February 2025 test at 86,416 miles, followed by another 15,353 miles leading to the January 2026 test. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of, which explains the typical wear on rubber components and tyres seen in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the repairs made after the January 2026 failure were executed correctly. The recurring issues with worn bushes noted in both 2025 and 2026 indicate that the entire front assembly may be nearing its service life. Additionally, the corroded rear coil springs flagged in February 2025 should be monitored for further structural degradation, as corrosion on these components often leads to snapping over time. The previous history of uneven tyre wear in early 2025 also suggests potential alignment issues that should be verified to prevent premature tyre replacement.
