2018 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · KR18 RFX

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-01 showed the 2018 Audi A4 passed with two suspension-related issues: nearside and offside front upper suspension arm pins or bushes worn but not causing excessive movement. These match earlier findings from 2025 and 2024, indicating a recurring but non-critical fault. No major safety risks were flagged in this test, but the persistence of suspension wear suggests potential for future deterioration. A failed MOT on 2025-04-15 revealed multiple electrical issues, including non-working headlamps, indicators, and fog lamps, alongside a defective windscreen wiper blade. These were resolved by the next test, but the frequency of electrical faults raises concerns about wiring or component reliability. Corrosion on coil springs also appears repeatedly, though it has not yet reached a critical stage. The trend shows stable but ongoing issues. Suspension bush wear and corrosion have remained consistent over multiple MOTs, while electrical faults have been intermittently resolved. No new major defects were recorded in the latest pass, but the vehicle’s age and high mileage (119,246 miles) suggest accelerated wear on components like brakes, suspension, and electrical systems. The annual mileage of ~14,906 miles is above average for an 8-year-old car, implying frequent use that could exacerbate wear on consumables and mechanical parts.
