2016 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · GL66 WOA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding reactive upkeep. While the car passed its most recent February 2026 test at 86,517 miles, this followed a significant failure just four days prior. The transition from two clean MOT records in 2023 and 2024 to a series of multi-point failures in early 2026 suggests that the current owner is only addressing faults when necessitated by the MOT tester rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. The data shows steady usage between 65,192 miles in January 2023 and 86,517 miles in February 2026. However, the jump of 6,091 miles between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests indicates a recent increase in usage, which correlates with the sudden appearance of significant wear on the braking system and suspension components noted in the most recent inspections. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as records show recurring pitting and scoring on both front and rear discs dating back to 2025. The 2026 failure revealed a thin offside rear pad and a binding nearside rear caliper, suggesting the hydraulic or piston assembly is being neglected. Furthermore, the tester flagged excessive wear on the nearside front lower suspension arm bush in 2026; the buyer should verify that these suspension components were actually replaced to ensure steering precision and prevent uneven tyre wear. The tyres represent another persistent concern, having been flagged as worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge in three consecutive tests between 2025, January 2026 and February 2026. This pattern often indicates incorrect wheel alignment or a failure to replace consumables timely. The damaged windscreen remains an advisory that should be monitored to ensure the crack does not propagate and compromise the driver's view in the future.
