2010 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · KX60 AFZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT pass issued on 12 December 2025 at 112,246 miles, but the maintenance trend is worsening. The most recent failure on 2 December 2025 — just ten days prior — exposed the same suspension and tyre wear issues that persisted through the retest, indicating unresolved underlying faults. While the December 2025 pass cleared the vehicle, the recurrence of advisories across consecutive tests signals deteriorating front-end geometry and tyre management rather than systematic upkeep. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 7,000 miles annually since first registration in 2010. The gap between the December 2025 and December 2024 tests reflects a full year of typical usage, with no evidence of rapid mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity. Earlier records show steady progression from 15,585 miles in November 2013 to over 112,000 miles by late 2025, suggesting regular use rather than sporadic ownership. No unusual mileage anomalies appear in the log. Buyers should prioritise inspecting the front suspension geometry, given repeated wear on upper suspension arm bushes on both sides. The nearside rear shock absorber shows light oil misting, a precursor to potential strut failure if left unaddressed. Brake performance warrants scrutiny, particularly the rear discs and pads, following thin pad warnings in 2024. The central exhaust mounting remains a concern, as the joining sleeve defect noted in 2024 may have progressed. Finally, the persistent inner-edge tyre wear points to tracking or camber misalignment that should be corrected before replacement.
