2007 Audi A4 2.0L Petrol · FE07 ONE

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT but the maintenance history reveals a trend of worsening suspension and braking components. While it passed its most recent test in January 2026 at 126,008 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior. That failure highlighted critical needs for replacement of both rear brake hoses and the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint. The presence of these faults suggests that the previous owner was only addressing mechanical issues once they reached a point of legal non-compliance rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 126,008 miles over 19 years, the vehicle averages approximately 6,600 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate annual usage. The mileage data shows steady progression, with roughly 7,200 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 5,700 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. While the low mileage is deceptive, the age of the vehicle is evident in the degradation of rubber-based components and surface corrosion, as seen throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the ball joints have shown a progressive decline from slight play in 2023 to an outright failure in 2026. The offside rear coil spring and mounting area also require attention due to recorded corrosion in 2025; surface rust on these Audi models often leads to eventual structural failure of the spring perches if not monitored. Additionally, the front brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in the 2026 test, indicating they are nearing the end of their functional life and will require replacement to ensure consistent braking performance.
