2022 Audi A4 S Line BLK ED 35 Tfsi Mhev 2.0L Petrol · FL12 ROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance record indicates a trend of accelerating consumable component wear. In the most recent test in May 2026 at 66,516 miles, the tester flagged thin brake pads on both the front and rear axles, along with worn rear brake discs. While the vehicle passed, these advisories suggest that the braking system has reached a point requiring a significant overhaul to maintain optimal stopping performance and safety. At 66,516 miles over four years, this Audi has averaged approximately 16,600 miles per year, which significantly exceeds the UK average for a modern passenger car. Between the May 2025 test and the May 2026 test, the car covered 12,900 miles in just twelve months. This consistent high-mile usage puts continuous pressure on the drivetrain and suspension components, explaining the rapid degradation of the brakes noted in the latest inspection. A physical inspection must focus on the suspension system to determine if the issues noted the previous year have progressed. The 2025 test identified light misting on the offside front shock absorber at 53,616 miles, and a buyer should verify if this has developed into a full leak requiring replacement. Given the high mileage and the current state of the brakes, also check for any perished rubber bushings and control arm wear, as these components often show accelerated fatigue at this mileage threshold.
