2017 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · FV17 RYA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 112,964 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged both front tyres as being worn on the inner edges. This suggests a persistent alignment issue or suspension wear that remains unaddressed. The failure in October 2024 due to an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp shows a previous electrical fault that was rectified, but it highlights a potential lapse in monitoring engine-related management systems. At 112,964 miles over nine years, this Audi A4 has averaged approximately 12,500 miles per annum, which sits above the national average for older vehicles. The record shows consistent usage, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between September 2023 and October 2024, and another 18,000 miles recorded by the 2025 test. This high mileage places significant stress on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, which typically reach the end of their functional service life at this stage. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the recurring inner tyre wear noted in 2023 and 2025 strongly points to worn control arm bushes or faulty tie rods. Given the mileage, a physical check for oil leaks around the engine and the condition of the brake caliper seals is essential. The previous 2024 failure regarding the engine management light also warrants a diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden fault codes remain stored in the engine management system that could indicate future sensor failures or emission issues.
