2015 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · BF15 XNP

The most recent MOT from July 2025 shows a pass, but the vehicle failed initially due to several preventable issues. While the car is currently legal, the recent inspection reveals a cluster of maintenance requirements regarding tyres, brakes, and the exhaust system. The vehicle's condition trend is clearly worsening. In 2022, the car had no recorded defects, but recent years show a consistent decline. We have moved from simple tyre wear in 2023 to more complex issues in 2025, including pitted brake discs, perishing tyres, out-of-shape rear tyres, and a corroded exhaust clamp. This suggests that routine maintenance is being deferred rather than proactively managed. At approximately 95,259 miles, the mileage is typical for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging around 8,660 miles per year. This level of usage suggests the car has been driven regularly enough to avoid the pitfalls of long-term standing, but it is high enough that wear on consumables like brakes, suspension, and tyres is expected. The primary risk pattern is a lack of attention to wear-and-tear items. The transition from thin brake pads in 2024 to pitted and scored discs in 2025 indicates that the braking system is reaching a stage where more significant investment may be required.
