2009 Audi A4 2.0L Petrol · HF58 LCU

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-02 recorded two tyre-related defects: both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and showed edge wear. This indicates ongoing tyre degradation, which could signal improper inflation, alignment issues, or excessive mileage despite the vehicle’s low annual average. The 2024-11-22 MOT revealed corroded rear coil springs and pitted rear brake discs, while the 2022-01-07 test noted similar tyre wear and damage to front tyres. These findings suggest a recurring pattern of tyre-related issues and emerging corrosion or wear in suspension and braking components. The trend shows some worsening elements. The 2024 MOT introduced new defects (corrosion, brake disc wear) not seen in the 2023 tests, which were otherwise clean. However, the 2023-12-22 and 2023-01-11 MOTs had no recorded issues, indicating periods of stability. The 2025 MOT’s focus on tyres aligns with earlier reports, suggesting persistent maintenance concerns. While the vehicle’s low mileage (approx. 5,400 miles per year) implies less wear on moving parts, it also raises questions about potential under-use, such as infrequent driving leading to tyre dry rot or corrosion in stationary components.
