2021 Audi A4 S LN BLK ED 35 Tfsi Mhev SA 2.0L Petrol · BB 100

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from perfect passes to emerging reactive maintenance. While the car passed its 2024 and 2025 tests with no defects, the most recent inspection in May 2026 at 46,849 miles flagged multiple advisories related to consumable wear. This indicates that while the mechanical integrity appears sound, the vehicle is now reaching intervals requiring immediate service attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,370 miles per year. The car progressed from 28,216 miles in May 2024 to 36,367 miles in May 2025, a steady increase of 8,151 miles, followed by a more active 10,482 miles recorded before the 2026 test. This regularity suggests consistent use rather than long periods of stationary storage which lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the tyres and braking system. The May 2026 test identified both front tyres as being close to the legal limit and showing edge wear, while the rear inner tyres show signs of cracking or perishing. The edge wear specifically suggests a potential alignment issue that should be verified. Additionally, the advisory for thin front brake pads means that replacement is imminent to prevent damage to the rotors. These are standard wear items but represent immediate costs to bring the vehicle back to peak condition.
