2016 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · KV66 CVM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. In the most recent test on 9 June 2026 at 66,835 miles, the tester flagged thin rear brake pads and a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit. This marks a departure from the previously clean records seen between 2023 and 2025, suggesting that consumable components are only being addressed once they approach failure thresholds. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between the August 2022 test at 44,086 miles and the June 2026 test at 66,835 miles, the car covered over 22,000 miles, showing a steady and moderate usage profile. The annual intervals between most tests suggest the vehicle has not been left to sit stationary for long periods, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake fluid despite low mechanical wear. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the rear suspension and braking system. The August 2022 record identified both rear coil spring seats as worn or perished, a common failure point on this chassis that can lead to structural fatigue if not properly replaced. Given the recurring mention of thin rear pads in both 2022 and 2026, the brake discs should be checked for uneven wear or glazing. Additionally, the edge-wear pattern noted on the nearside front tyre in the latest test suggests a potential alignment issue or worn shock absorber that requires verification to prevent premature replacement of new rubber.
