2011 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · BJ61 OGW

The current MOT record shows a passing status as of the 24 October 2024 test, though the maintenance trend indicates recurring issues with tyre wear. While the vehicle passed without major defects, the most recent advisory for a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit suggests a pattern of neglecting consumable replacements. This follows a similar advisory in the 30 November 2021 test, where the offside rear tyre was flagged for being worn on the edge. The vehicle has covered 228,798 miles over its lifespan, which averages approximately 15,253 miles per year. This high mileage level suggests heavy usage across its 15 years on the road. The MOT history shows a gap between the November 2022 test and the October 2024 test, though the absence of recorded mileage for the 2022 entry prevents a precise calculation of recent distance accumulation. The high total mileage increases the likelihood of wear on suspension components, drivetrain elements, and braking systems. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyre tread and alignment, as the repeated advisories for edge wear may indicate underlying suspension geometry issues or worn bushes. Given the high mileage, the inspection should also focus on the condition of the brake discs and calipers, as well as any signs of structural corrosion or leaks that the MOT advisories did not capture. The recurring tyre issues suggest that basic consumable maintenance has been reactive rather than proactive.
