2017 Audi A4 1.4L Petrol · AV67 VLU

The most recent MOT test on 18 November 2025 shows a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a period of instability in the 2023 and 2024 testing cycles where the vehicle failed on several occasions. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, moving from a dangerous structural tyre failure in November 2023 to a clean pass in the most recent inspection. The vehicle has covered 41,789 miles over its nine-year lifespan, averaging approximately 4,643 miles per year. This represents low annual usage for a 2017 model. The MOT records show consistent annual testing, though the low mileage may suggest the vehicle spends significant periods stationary, which can sometimes impact rubber components and fluid degradation. The history indicates recurring issues with tyres and braking components. In November 2023, the tester issued a dangerous failure due to a structural lump on the offside front tyre. The November 2024 test resulted in a failure for a deep cut in the nearside front tyre and a minor stop lamp fault, alongside advisories for thinning rear brake pads and a worn nearside rear tyre. A buyer should physically inspect the current condition of all four tyres and the remaining tread depth to ensure the previous pattern of premature wear or damage has been addressed. The brake system requires close attention during a physical inspection. The November 2024 record flagged thinning rear brake pads as an advisory. While the 2025 test was clear, the presence of these advisories suggests that consumable wear is a recurring factor. A manual check of the brake disc surfaces for scoring and the thickness of the pads is necessary to confirm the current state of the braking system. Additionally, the repeated advisories regarding child seats obstructing belt inspections since 2021 mean a buyer must verify that all seatbelt assemblies are fully functional and unobstructed. buying_score: 68 risk_level: Low.
