2012 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · FV62 KGA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a history of intermittent mechanical and electrical failures. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 110,318 miles passed with only an advisory for worn front upper suspension arm bushes, previous years indicate a struggle with electronic systems. The transition from multiple failures in 2023 to a cleaner pass suggests that the owner is addressing specific faults as they appear, rather than performing preventative maintenance. With a recorded mileage of 110,318 miles over 14 years, the car averages approximately 7,880 miles per annum. This usage is consistent with typical UK patterns for this age. The data shows steady progression, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between the June 2024 and June 2025 tests. This consistent interval suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the age of the vehicle increases the natural degradation of rubber components and seals regardless of the relatively low mileage. A prospective buyer must prioritize an in-person inspection of the ABS system and power steering assembly. The ABS warning lamp failed in both 2023 and 2024, indicating a recurring electrical or sensor fault that may not be fully rectified. Similarly, the power steering malfunction noted in 2023 requires a check for fluid leaks or pump noise to ensure continued reliability. The advisory for the front upper suspension bushes in the latest test indicates the start of a cycle of suspension component wear, which should be monitored to maintain steering precision and prevent uneven tyre wear.
