2019 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · EP19 TLV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in June 2026 at 126,670 miles resulted in a failure just two miles prior due to multiple tyre defects and a suspension issue. While the car passed the immediate re-test, the presence of a damaged offside rear lower coil spring mounting suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they threaten the MOT certificate. The mileage profile is notably high for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging over 18,000 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between May 2022 and June 2024, where the car covered over 50,000 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation explains the accelerated wear on consumables such as tyres, suspension bushings, and drivetrain components. The consistent high mileage suggests frequent motorway use, which puts specific strain on the Audi's complex suspension geometry, particularly the coil spring mounts identified in the 2026 inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension geometry, as the damage to the coil spring mounting noted in 2026 is a precursor to potential structural fatigue or uneven tyre wear. Recurring issues with tyres worn to the legal limit or physically damaged in 2024 and 2026 indicate a pattern of neglecting basic maintenance. Close attention should also be paid to signs of play in the control arms and the condition of the brake discs, as the high-mileage environment increases the likelihood of these components nearing the end of their functional life.
