2017 Audi A4 1.4L Petrol · DX17 MYK

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT on March 16 2026 at 54,606 miles with no recorded defects. This represents a stable trend in mechanical maintenance following a period of recurring consumable issues. While the history shows several failures related to wear items, the clean sheet from the last two tests indicates that the current owner is addressing identified faults before they become safety risks. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. This low-use profile generally suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine, though the data shows a steady accumulation of miles between March 2021 (20,467 miles) and March 2026 (54,606 miles). There are no significant gaps in testing that suggest long periods of inactivity, though the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals despite the low mileage on the odometer. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking and suspension systems, as the record highlights a persistent history of neglected consumables. The tester flagged thin brake pads in both 2023 and 2024, and a fractured nearside rear coil spring caused a failure in 2025. These recurring issues, combined with frequent advisories for tyres worn to the legal limit, suggest the previous owner often waited for an MOT failure before performing maintenance. Inspect for any uneven tyre wear or signs of weeping from the suspension bushings to ensure the recent spring replacement did not mask secondary damage to related components.
