Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. This Audi A4 has a
Given the two coil spring failures on opposite rear sides within roughly twelve months of each other, it is sensible to inspect both front springs at the time of viewing as these can fail in sympathy once rears have gone. Negotiate on the basis that rear springs will likely need replacement again in the near future — Audi main dealer parts and labour can run £250–£400 per side, while quality aftermarket patterns are considerably cheaper. Check that the 1.4 TFSI engine has had its timing chain inspected, as this engine is known to stretch on higher-mileage examples, and ask for any paperwork relating to oil consumption top-ups which can be a tell-tale sign.
Ask to see the V5C and a full service history to verify the recorded mileage against the MOT odometer readings. Because the 2017 A4 saloon still commands reasonable residuals, private-party prices typically range £8,500–£10,500 at this age and mileage, so use the coil spring history as a lever to push towards the lower end. Be wary if the seller cannot produce evidence of recent suspension work or a fresh advisory-free MOT — this car will be due another test in late December 2026.
The 1.4 TFSI petrol unit is officially rated at around 49 mpg combined, though real-world figures for high-mileage examples typically fall closer to 38–42 mpg. Road tax sits in band D at roughly £165 per year for this engine size, and insurance for the A4 1.4 TFSI usually falls into group 20–22, so expect premiums of £450–£650 for a typical driver.
Routine servicing for this engine is generally affordable — an oil and filter change is around £180 at an independent specialist and £260 at a main dealer. However, the coil spring issue alone could cost £150–£400 to rectify depending on parts choice, and brake discs and pads tend to need replacing more frequently on the TFSI due to its lighter weight over the front axle. Combining fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance, buyers should budget roughly £1,800–£2,200 per year to run this car sensibly.
The most pressing items based on the MOT data are both rear coil springs, which have failed twice on opposite sides. Lift the car if possible or press down firmly on each corner — a broken or weakened spring will produce an audible clunk and the affected corner will sit noticeably lower. Also inspect the front springs visually for corrosion and cracking, particularly around the lower coils where stress concentrates. The advisory note regarding under trays preventing full inspection at the December 2025 test means the underside could not be fully scrutinised — request the car be raised on a ramp at viewing or at a pre-purchase inspection.
Beyond the recorded defects, the 1.4 TFSI engine should be checked for oil consumption by asking the seller to show the dipstick reading on a level surface after a short drive. Coolant hoses and the thermostat housing are known to weep on this unit, so look for green or pink residue around hose joints. Finally, examine the tyres closely — the model aggregate data lists tyres as the most common MOT failure point on the A4, and uneven wear can indicate suspension or tracking issues that may go hand-in-hand with the spring history.
This November 2017 Audi A4 is a white 1.4-litre TFSI petrol saloon, recorded with 91,880 miles on its most recent MOT pass in December 2025. The MOT history shows four tests over three years, with two failures and two passes, both failures involving fractured rear coil springs — a known weak point across the B9-generation A4 range. Mileage is above the model average of 8,177 miles per year, suggesting heavy use likely covering around 13,000 miles annually.
The Audi A4 has an MOT pass rate of approximately 80.8% across 306,850 records analysed, placing it broadly in line with the executive saloon segment average. The most common failure points across the model are tyres, coil springs and engine MIL issues.
