2015 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · DF64 KZJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in December 2025 at 109,481 miles passed with recurring advisories for thin rear brake pads and oil misting on both rear shock absorbers. These issues were also noted during the 2024 test, suggesting that components are only being addressed once they approach a failure threshold rather than during scheduled servicing. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with annual intervals, for example, the 12,837 miles covered between the December 2022 and December 2023 tests, and another 8,954 miles between late 2023 and late 2024. This regularity suggests the car has been used consistently, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components compared to a vehicle that spends long periods sitting stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The recurring reports of worn front brake discs in 2023 and 2024, combined with thin rear pads in 2025, indicate the braking system is due for a comprehensive overhaul shortly. The persistent light misting on the rear shock absorbers has remained for two years; while not currently a failure, it indicates seals are degrading and will eventually lead to leaks. Furthermore, the noisy wheel bearings noted in 2022 should be checked during a test drive to ensure they have not progressed toward mechanical failure, as they were not explicitly mentioned as replaced in subsequent records.
