2015 Audi A4 2.0L Petrol · KT15 AFX

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 16 December 2025 at 149,506 miles shows a pass, but the maintenance trend suggests a pattern of reactive rather than preventative upkeep. While the vehicle passed, the tester flagged light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorbers. This follows a period of instability in late 2024 when the vehicle failed on multiple counts, including a split offside front CV boot, worn rear brake pads, and significant tyre damage. Although the 2024 failure points appear to have been addressed, the recurrence of shock absorber issues indicates a developing trend in suspension component wear. The vehicle has covered 149,506 miles over its eleven-year lifespan, averaging approximately 13,591 miles per year. This high annual mileage explains the accelerated wear on consumable items. The records show consistent usage, with mileage increasing steadily from 80,712 miles in June 2018 to the current 149,506 miles. The data is relatively continuous, though the jump from 99,240 miles in June 2019 to 112,808 miles in December 2020 shows a period of higher-than-average usage. This high-mileage profile places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension systems. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain. The MOT history shows a recurring issue with shock absorbers, specifically light oil misting noted in both December 2023 and December 2025. The offside front CV boot has also been a point of failure in recent years, so the integrity of the drive shafts and boots must be verified to ensure no further splitting or grease leakage. The 2024 failure regarding rear brake pads suggests that braking components are subject to heavy wear, so the thickness of the remaining pads and the condition of the discs should be checked. Tyre management also appears inconsistent, with several failures and advisories regarding ply exposure, cuts, and perishing between 2019 and 2024. This suggests the previous owners occasionally neglected basic consumable maintenance. Beyond the tyres, the 2021 advisory regarding a rusting exhaust centre clamp indicates that corrosion is a factor to monitor on the underside of the vehicle. Given the high mileage, a detailed check of all suspension bushes and the condition of the steering rack is advisable to ensure no further deterioration of the chassis components.
