2016 Audi A4 1.4L Petrol · DA16 PHY

The current roadworthiness status of this 2016 Audi A4 is satisfactory following the pass issued on 29 May 2026 at 107,994 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent with a vehicle subjected to high-frequency use, though it reveals a recurring pattern of neglect regarding tyre maintenance. While the vehicle successfully passed its most recent inspection, the presence of advisory notices for tyres worn close to the legal limit suggests that the previous owner prioritised minimal compliance over proactive replacement. The recorded mileage of 107,994 miles over a ten-year period aligns with standard usage patterns for this class of vehicle, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per annum. The history shows steady, predictable accumulation between annual tests, with no significant gaps or periods of prolonged inactivity. This consistent usage profile indicates that the mechanical components have been kept in regular operation, which generally avoids the specific degradation associated with long-term storage, such as seized calipers or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as these areas have flagged repeated concerns. The 2023 test highlighted wear on the front inner suspension arm bushes and thinning brake discs across all four corners. Given that these items were noted as worn but not yet failing at 77,755 miles, a thorough assessment of current disc thickness and bush play is necessary to determine if these components have reached the end of their service life. The persistent tyre issues noted across the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests also warrant a check of the wheel alignment, as uneven edge wear often points to underlying tracking or geometry imbalances that could accelerate future tyre degradation.
