2010 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · C2 THW

The 2026-05-22 test at 194,156 miles was passed, indicating that the vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a clear pattern of deterioration. The most recent test in May 2026 confirms that the vehicle has been maintained for approximately 12 years, a period of time that should have allowed for significant wear on consumables and suspension components. The data indicates that the vehicle has not been maintained for nearly a decade, creating a gap in the history that may require attention. The mileage accumulation is substantial, with the vehicle sitting at 194,156 miles over 16 years. This high mileage rate suggests that the owner has likely maintained the car at a very light speed or for extended periods without proper servicing, leading to accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension. The test records show that the vehicle has experienced multiple failures, including coil spring fractures and brake disc pitting, which indicates a lack of consistent adherence to the recommended maintenance schedule. The maintenance trend appears to be worsening, as the vehicle has failed twice, with the most recent failure occurring in May 2024, suggesting that the current owner may have been unable to perform the required inspections or that the vehicle has been driven at high speeds for extended periods. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear, particularly focusing on the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components identified in the MOT. The most critical findings include a fractured or broken coil spring in the offside front and rear, which poses a significant risk to the vehicle's structural integrity and safety. Additionally, the front brake discs show pitting or scoring, which may indicate corrosion or excessive wear that could lead to failure. The suspension bushes are noted as worn, and the front lower shock absorbers have slightly worn bushings, which could lead to excessive movement and potential failure. The rear brake discs also show pitting, which may indicate similar wear patterns. These components require professional assessment for any potential issues such as binding or structural compromise that could lead to a total loss of vehicle safety.
