2017 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · EU67 EFK

An unusually low annual mileage profile defines this vehicle's usage pattern, which is accompanied by a relatively clean inspection history punctuated by a single tyre-related failure and a recent advisory regarding undertrays. The most recent test on 07 October 2025 resulted in a pass, though the inspector noted that the fitted undertrays prevented a full inspection of the underlying components. Aside from a dangerous failure in 2021 involving both front tyres and a 2022 advisory for a worn nearside front tyre, the vehicle has consistently met the minimum requirements for roadworthiness without recorded mechanical defects. The recorded mileage of 31,774 miles over approximately nine years equates to an average of roughly 3,530 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the UK national average. While this suggests minimal wear on high-mileage components such as the engine, gearbox, and drivetrain, such infrequent use can sometimes lead to other issues. Mechanically, vehicles that cover low annual distances may experience more frequent heat cycles and longer periods of inactivity, which can affect rubber components and fluid degradation, though the MOT records do not explicitly flag any such issues at this time. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the advisory from the October 2025 test concerning the undertrays. Because these covers prevented a comprehensive view of the vehicle's underside, a physical inspection is necessary to check for signs of oil misting from the engine, leaks from the gearbox, or early-stage corrosion on the exhaust system and fuel lines. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate wear in the suspension bushes or control arms that may have been obscured during the last inspection. Given the history of tyre-related issues in 2021 and 2022, the current condition of the tread and sidewalls should be verified to ensure they are not showing signs of uneven wear or age-related cracking. Check for any steering pull or vibration through the steering wheel at motorway speeds, as this can indicate alignment issues or uneven tyre wear. Additionally, monitor the braking performance for any pedal judder or pulling to one side, ensuring that the low-mileage usage has not resulted in uneven brake disc corrosion or binding calipers.
