2016 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · GK02 ALF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of proactive maintenance following identified faults. The most recent test in February 2026 at 86,452 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues from previous years have been addressed. This transition from a failing and advisory state to a clean sheet suggests the current ownership is attentive to rectifying mechanical concerns flagged by the tester. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 21,600 miles, representing a significant period of high usage compared to the 18,000 miles covered in the preceding year. Despite this spike in usage, the vehicle remains under the typical mileage threshold for its age, which generally reduces the risk of premature dry-related degradation of rubber components and drivetrain seals often associated with long-term sitting. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension assembly. The December 2023 test at 45,648 miles flagged light oil misting on both front shock absorbers and uneven wear on the offside front tyre. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests, the buyer should verify that the shock absorbers have not progressed to active leaks, which would compromise handling performance. The previous inner-edge tyre wear in 2023 indicates a past alignment issue, so a check of the current tyre wear patterns is necessary to ensure the geometry remains within specification.
