2015 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · CE15 WMK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in suspension and tyre management. The most recent test in March 2026 at 96,113 miles resulted in an initial failure due to multiple tyre defects and suspension wear. While the car passed after topping up washer fluid, the presence of a worn nearside front suspension arm bush and misting shock absorbers indicates that components are beginning to fail following a previously clean record in 2025. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. Between the 80,286 miles in March 2023 and 96,113 miles in March 2026, the car covered roughly 16,000 miles, suggesting steady and predictable use. However, the transition from a defectless test in 2025 at 92,004 miles to multiple mechanical advisories in the most recent test suggests that preventative maintenance may have been deferred until the MOT test interval. A buyer must inspect the front end alignment, as the recurring inner and outer edge wear on the tyres across 2024 and 2026 indicates significant tracking issues or worn suspension bushings. The misting on both rear shock absorbers requires close monitoring for developing leaks that will eventually lead to a failure of the damping system. Additionally, the thin rear brake pads noted in 2024 should be verified to ensure they were replaced, as the record does not show a follow-up inspection for that specific fault.
