2016 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · KY66 XBE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The latest test in September 2025 at 100,399 miles identified three distinct issues, including a worn nearside front suspension arm bush, a gearbox oil leak, and thinning front inner brake pads. While the vehicle passed this test, the emergence of multiple mechanical advisories suggests that components are reaching the end of their service life following a period of relatively clean inspections. The recorded mileage of 100,399 miles over ten years reflects an average usage of approximately 10,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for this age. The data shows a period of high activity in early 2024, where the car covered 5,400 miles between February and October. This rapid accumulation correlates with the mechanical failures recorded during that window, specifically the failure at 84,861 miles and the subsequent October failure due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring and an inoperative engine management light. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to assess the extent of the gearbox leak noted in the 2025 record. The presence of weeping at the front suspension arm bush requires a close check for play, which could soon affect steering precision and cause uneven tyre wear. Additionally, the thinning inner brake pads indicate that the previous owner neglected routine consumable maintenance, making a full sweep of the braking system necessary. The history of a fractured coil spring also suggests that the suspension components may be degraded, necessitating a professional inspection of all springs and dampers for signs of fatigue or corrosion.
