2019 Audi A4 2.0L Petrol · DX69 VMD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive approach to safety. The latest test in September 2025 at 32,488 miles resulted in a failure due to a nearside front tyre with exposed cords and a worn offside front tyre. While the vehicle passed the retest one mile later at 32,489 miles, the failure indicates that essential consumables were only addressed once they reached a point of legal breach. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,641 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage data, with only 1,928 miles recorded between the May 2023 and September 2023 tests, followed by a 6,426-mile increase in the following year. This low-use pattern often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and potential flat spotting, which may coincide with the uneven tyre wear noted in the MOT records. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry and alignment, as the recurring reports of tyres wearing on the inner and outer edges in 2024 and 2025 suggest a misalignment or worn suspension bushes. The tester flagged exposed cords on the nearside front tyre, which is a critical safety failure often stemming from structural damage or severe impact. Given the low mileage, the brake discs should be checked for corrosion or pitting caused by long periods of vehicle standing, and ensure that the current set of tyres does not suffer from similar uneven wear.
