2017 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · KT66 VJD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a sharp decline in basic upkeep. While it passed the latest test in September 2025 at 75,810 miles, the tester recorded multiple advisories that indicate a failure to address consumable wear. The presence of all four tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing signs of cracking and uneven wear, alongside a TPMS warning light, suggests a period of mechanical neglect prior to the most recent inspection. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for this age, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 35,815 miles and September 2025 at 75,810 miles, the car covered 40,000 miles, representing a steady rate of operation. The clean records from 2023 and 2024 suggest the vehicle was previously well-maintained, but the sudden appearance of defects in 2025 indicates that the standard of preventative care has been interrupted. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the offside front suspension arm bush which was flagged in the 2025 test. Although it did not result in a failure, worn bushes on Audi components often lead to handling instability and accelerated tyre wear. The brake system should also be checked thoroughly, as the record noted thin rear pads in 2022 at 47,771 miles. Given the cracking and edge wear on the current tyres, a full set of new rubber is likely required to ensure the vehicle is safe for further use.
