2016 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · GC65 DCE

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, passing its most recent test in December 2025 at 178,182 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the last two annual tests flagged only a deteriorated rear registration plate. While the vehicle suffered a failure in late 2022 due to windscreen obstructions and tyre defects, the subsequent pass records indicate that the previous owner addressed immediate safety-critical faults to maintain legal compliance. At 178,182 miles over ten years, this Audi has averaged approximately 17,800 miles per annum, which is significantly above the national average for its age. The data shows consistent high-frequency use, with 13,000 miles covered between January 2024 and December 2024, and another 6,000 miles in the six months prior to the latest test. This rapid mileage accumulation places considerable stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, necessitating a rigorous service schedule compared to a low-mileage example. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry. The January 2024 test at 159,294 miles flagged worn front suspension arm bushes on both sides, and given the high mileage, these rubber components are likely nearing the end of their service life. You must check for uneven tyre wear across the front axle, as the 2022 failure for inner-edge wear suggests potential alignment issues or worn ball joints de-stabilised by mileage.
