Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2017 Audi A4 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 16 October 2025 at 66,589 miles with zero defects recorded. That is a notably strong result for a nine-year-old executive saloon and suggests the most recent keeper addressed the tyre wear issues that had appeared in earlier years. The record shows no corrosion, suspension, braking, or structural advisories at any point, which is a positive indicator of long-term mechanical care. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable in the best sense. Between the August 2022 test at 44,931 miles and the October 2025 test at 66,589 miles, the car covered roughly 21,658 miles over three years, averaging around 7,200 miles annually. That sits squarely within typical use for this age and class of vehicle. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer readings, and the annual test intervals align with a regularly driven, properly maintained car rather than one that has been sitting idle. The only recurring theme in the history is rear tyre wear. In October 2023 at 53,399 miles, both the nearside and offside rear tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge. The same nearside rear advisory appeared again in August 2022 at 44,931 miles. This pattern points to a persistent issue, most likely a minor alignment or tracking fault on the rear axle, or a suspension bush or geometry component causing uneven edge wear. The fact that no tyre defects were flagged in 2024 or 2025 suggests the problem was corrected, but a buyer should still have the rear suspension and wheel alignment inspected in person. Pay particular attention to the condition of the rear tyre inner edges, the rear trailing arm bushes, and the tracking settings. Beyond the tyre wear history, the clean MOT record gives no cause for concern on brakes, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. A prospective buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection of the underside for corrosion, check the condition of all four brake discs and pads, and verify that the front tyres are wearing evenly. The overall picture, however, is one of a well-maintained vehicle with a resolved minor fault and no outstanding defects at its most recent test.
