2006 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · GJ06 EWT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred repairs regarding suspension and tyres. The most recent test in February 2026 at 263,562 miles shows a pass despite multiple advisories for worn suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages. While these issues did not result in a failure, the recurrence of suspension faults across several years indicates that the owner is only addressing components once they reach a critical threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging over 13,000 miles per annum. There is a significant data gap between the February 2025 test at 159,903 miles and the February 2026 test at 263,562 miles, representing over 100,000 miles driven in a single year. This rapid accumulation places extreme strain on the drivetrain and suspension, which explains the persistent deterioration of rubber components like CV boots and bushes. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody, as rear under body corrosion was noted in early 2025. The history also shows a pattern of poor tyre management, with multiple failures for exposed cords, bulges, and uneven wear. Given the high mileage and recurring reports of worn suspension arm pins, the buyer should check for excessive play in the control arms and the condition of the CV boots, as these components are likely nearing the end of their functional life.
