2014 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · FV14 SBO

The vehicle presents a generally consistent maintenance history, though it shows specific areas of recurring mechanical attention over time. In the most recent test in July 2024 at 52,000 miles, the car passed with no advisories, indicating that previously identified issues have likely been addressed. However, looking back to the July 2023 test at 42,000 miles, the vehicle failed due to a binding rear brake caliper and a front coil spring. This suggests that while the owner is proactive enough to rectify faults after a failure, the braking system and suspension components are prone to significant wear between service intervals. The mileage history indicates a steady usage pattern, with the vehicle covering approximately 10,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This rate is consistent with average UK annual mileage and does not🇯ので strain on the mechanical components. Between 2022 and 2023, the car covered roughly 8,000 miles, which aligns with the overall trend of the vehicle's life. The lack of advisories in the latest record is a positive sign, suggesting it is currently in a stable state, but the history of failures highlights a need for close monitoring of the suspension and brakes. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the rear brake assembly and suspension bushes, as these have been flagged as points of failure in the past. The binding caliper noted in 2023 warrants a check for uneven wear on the discs to ensure the repair was comprehensive. While there are no reports of structural corrosion or emissions issues in the record, the history of a coil spring failure indicates that the suspension may be under stress or nearing the end of its lifespan. Overall, the vehicle appears to be maintained on a reactive rather than purely preventative basis, but it currently meets roadworthiness standards.
