2017 Audi A4 1.4L Petrol · BD67 FGP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding wear and tear. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 49,953 miles passed with only a minor advisory for a deteriorated rear plate, the preceding years show a pattern of recurring mechanical issues. The trend is relatively stable in terms of safety, but the record indicates that components are only addressed once they approach MOT failure thresholds rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. At 49,953 miles over nine years, this Audi A4 has significantly below-average mileage, averaging approximately 5,550 miles per annum. The data shows a consistent usage pattern between August 2022 (30,122 miles) and 2025 (49,953 miles), with a notable jump of 5,890 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This low-mileage profile often leads to aged rubber components and surface-related corrosion, which is consistent with the observations of worn suspension bushes and pitted discs in the record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry and braking system. The 2023 failure and subsequent advisories highlight deteriorating upper arm bushes and lower rear suspension arm bushes, which can affect steering precision and cause uneven tyre wear if not replaced. The 2024 advisory regarding pitted front brake discs suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods or experienced short trips, leading to corrosion on the rotor surfaces. Additionally, the corrosion on the offside rear lower coil spring mounting noted in 2023 requires physical monitoring to ensure it does not progress into a structural failure of the mounting point.
