2017 Audi A4 3.0L Petrol · CAD 5M

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 29,618 miles passed, it resulted in advisories for both rear tyres being worn to the legal limit. This follows a failure in September 2024 where multiple issues were flagged, including a fractured coil spring and thin brake pads, indicating that components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure. At 29,618 miles, this 2017 Audi has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per year. The record shows consistent intervals between 2022 and 2023, where the car passed without any defects, suggesting a clean period during that time. However, the jump of 2,188 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests followed by the subsequent failure suggests that the low usage may be leading to the degradation of rubber-based components or flat-spotting of tyres despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer must physically inspect the suspension geometry to ensure the fractured nearside coil spring replaced in 2024 did not cause uneven wear on other components. The recurring advisories for uneven tyre wear across multiple axles in 2024 and 2025 suggest an alignment issue or worn bushes that require professional attention. Additionally, the braking system should be checked for binding calipers or corrosion, as the thin pads noted in 2024 indicate the braking system may be due for a comprehensive overhaul despite the low mileage.
