2014 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · DF64 KZP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding neglected consumable components. In the most recent test conducted in April 2026 at 103,657 miles, the tester flagged both pitted and scored rear brake discs alongside worn tyres on the nearside and offside rear corners. This mirrors issues found during the 2025 inspection at 90,518 miles, where similar brake corrosion and tyre wear were noted. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, with 13,000 miles covered between 2024 and 2025, and another 13,100 miles between 2025 and 2026. While the single failure in May 2024 due to a missing wheel stud on the nearside rear wheel was rectified immediately, it suggests a temporary lapse in basic safety checks prior to that specific test. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking system, as the recurring pitting and scoring on the discs suggest the calipers may be seizing or that the car sits long enough to allow significant surface oxidation. The consistent edge-wear noted on the rear tyres across multiple years indicates a way alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed. Attention should also be paid to the sidewalls of the rear tyres, as the 2023 record specifically noted structural damage to those components.
