2021 Audi A4 S LN BLK ED 35 Tfsi Mhev SA 2.0L Petrol · HJ71 NWK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a downward trend in maintenance standards regarding consumables. In the March 2026 test at 43,321 miles, the car initially failed due to a missing road wheel fixing bolt on the nearside front. While it passed immediately after rectification, the tester flagged several new issues including worn front brake discs and poor tyre condition. These findings contrast with the clean 2025 record, suggesting a lapse in proactive preventative care. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year over its five-year life. The car progressed from 22,290 miles in April 2024 to 31,959 miles in March 2025, and then to 43,321 miles by March 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress, though the interval between tests shows that components are reaching their wear limits due to age and cycles rather than high mileage-rating friction. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry and tyre alignment. The 2026 advisory noting the nearside rear tyre is worn on the inner edge at 3mm indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require adjustment. Furthermore, the front brake discs were noted as worn; a physical inspection should check for thinness or glazing to ensure they are not nearing immediate replacement. The history of sidewall cuts on multiple tyres suggests the vehicle navigates challenging environments, which may have hidden damage to the alloy wheels or underbody components.
