2013 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · AM60 OSE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 94,154 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just four days prior. This recent failure highlighted multiple issues, including non-conforming registration plates and significant suspension wear. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they result in an immediate MOT failure, leading to recurring advisories regarding deteriorating suspension components. At 94,154 miles over 13 years, the car averages approximately 7,200 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light-duty usage. The data shows steady annual mileage, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 7,500 miles covered between December 2024 and December 2025. This consistent usage pattern explains the gradual degradation of rubber-based suspension components, which are the primary issues noted in the inspection records. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension, as the lower arm rear bushes have been flagged in every consecutive test since late 2023. The record shows these bushes progressing from perished in 2023 to splitting in 2024 and finally becoming excessively worn or torn by late 2025. This indicates a failure to replace critical components early, which can affect handling and cause uneven tyre wear. The buyer should also verify the rear tyres, as both were noted as being close to the legal limit and worn on the edge in the latest test, suggesting a potential alignment issue or simply nearing replacement.
