Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-06 showed the 2012 Audi A4 passed but highlighted multiple wear-related issues. Rear brake pads were wearing thin, rear brake discs were pitted or scored, and both front suspension arm bushes showed wear without excessive movement. The rear sub-frame had corrosion, and the exhaust heat shield was loose. These are not critical failures but indicate ongoing mechanical degradation. A recurring pattern of wear on suspension components, brakes, and tyres is evident across multiple MOTs. Suspension arm bushes have been noted as worn in 2024, 2025, and 2026. Brake discs and pads show consistent wear, with pitting or scoring reported in 2024 and 2026. Tyres have repeatedly been flagged for low tread, cuts, or edge wear, suggesting potential neglect or high mileage usage. The trend of issues appears stable rather than worsening. Most defects are classified as "not serious" in the MOT reports, but the frequency of wear-related findings raises concerns.
