2015 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · FP15 ABN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent MOT test in June 2026 at 191,089 miles identified a severely deteriorated offside front outer drive shaft joint constant velocity boot. While the car passed its previous 2025 test without defects, the recurring appearance of mechanical failures in later years suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of inspection failure. At 191,089 miles over eleven years, this Audi has covered a high annual distance, averaging approximately 17,000 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a significant jump of 34,915 miles recorded between April 2021 and 2022 tests. This high-frequency usage suggests heavy motorway involvement which places considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests shows a period of high-mileage operation that accelerates the wear on consumable-related parts. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the anti-roll bar ball joints were already flagged for play in 2024. The braking system shows a history of intermittent neglect, ranging from a grabbing caliper in 2022 to significantly worn rear discs in 2023. It is essential to verify the current thickness of all pads and discs and check for uneven wear or binding, given the previous brake-related failures. Furthermore, the 2023 failure regarding an inoperative engine management light suggests that a diagnostic scan is necessary to ensure no hidden sensor faults remain in the management system.
