2007 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · GL07 MYR

The 2007 Audi A4 shows a history of inconsistent maintenance regarding safety-critical consumables. In the most recent test in October 2025 at 116,359 miles, the vehicle passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the current owner addressed previous issues. However, the data from October 2024 at 112,645 miles reveals a failure due to thin front brake pads and both the nearside and offside rear tyres being worn to the legal limit. This suggests a reactive maintenance pattern where components are only replaced once they trigger an MOT failure rather than as part of a proactive service schedule. At 116,359 miles over 19 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,100 miles per year. This low annual mileage is typical for an older car but often leads to the degradation of rubber components and suspension bushings. The failure in October 2023 at 109,682 miles is particularly concerning, as a loose road wheel fixing was flagged. A loose wheel nut is a critical failure that indicates a lack of basic visual inspections or poor mechanical work. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test, the recurring nature of tyre-related failures across three years suggests the previous owners frequently neglected routine wear checks. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system, given the age of the vehicle and the history of pad and tyre wear. The record does not highlight structural corrosion yet, but Audis of this era require a close check of the subframe and exhaust mounting points. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the past trend of failing on wheel fixings and tyres implies the buyer must verify the current condition of all bolts and brake components immediately to ensure no new faults have developed.
