2009 Audi A4 2.0L Petrol · KP09 CKY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 162,616 miles resulted in a pass, the advisory for thin rear brake pads and a deteriorated front registration plate suggests that the current owner only addresses components once they approach or reach legal limits. This pattern is consistent with previous years where minor wear items were ignored until they necessitated attention. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,566 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2025, the car covered 16,356 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 4,100 miles annually. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which is generally positive for seals and rubber components, though the high total mileage naturally places significant stress on the Audi drivetrain and suspension assembly. A buyer must physically inspect the underbody, specifically addressing the 2024 advisory regarding improperly fitted undertrays that were obstructing suspension, fuel, and brake pipes. Such interference poses a risk of mechanical damage or heat-related wear to critical lines. The 2023 report of an oil leak also requires visual verification to ensure it has not worsened into a more significant gasket or seal failure. Given the 2022 advisory for uneven tyre wear, a professional geometry check is necessary to rule out worn suspension bushes or tracking issues that could cause premature degradation of new tyres.
