2017 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · EL10 PML

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 87,683 miles passed with a minor advisory regarding windscreen damage. While the car has consistently passed its annual inspections, the recurring technical flags for wear-related items like tyres and brakes suggest the previous owners have only addressed these components once they reached legal failure thresholds or triggered an MOT advisory. At 87,683 miles over nine years, the A4 has averaged approximately 9,700 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a petrol vehicle. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent, showing roughly 10,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 10,000 miles in the preceding twelve-month period. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which often leads to seal degradation or rubber perish. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system and suspension condition during a physical evaluation based on historical faults. The 2023 test at 69,815 miles flagged thin pads on both front and rear axles, and the 2024 test noted front tyres worn to the legal limit with edge wear. This indicates a potential issue with wheel alignment or worn suspension bushings that remains unresolved. Furthermore, given the history of tyre damage and perishing in 2021 and 2022, a thorough check of the current sidewalls is necessary to ensure no structural cracking has occurred despite the recent pass.
