2021 Audi A4 S Line BLK ED 35 Tfsi Mhev 2.0L Petrol · LO70 LLC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 15 January 2026 at 44,404 miles resulted in a failure due to a missing nearside wheel fixing and worn tyres on the offside corners. While the vehicle passed immediately upon re-test, the recurring failures regarding consumable components suggest the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues once they reached a legal MOT failure threshold. At 44,404 miles over five years, the Audi has averaged approximately 8,880 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use patterns for a modern vehicle. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 8,600 miles driven between the January 2024 and January 2025 tests, and another 8,000 miles between early 2025 and early 2026. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of stationary, which can often lead to seal degradation or fluid issues in MHEV systems. A buyer should closely inspect the suspension and tyre alignment, as the 2026 failure specifically noted tyres worn on the edge. This often indicates incorrect wheel geometry or worn suspension bushes rather than simple mileage wear. Furthermore, the January 2025 test flagged thin brake pads across all four wheels. While these were likely replaced since, the buyer should check the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear to ensure the pads were not run to metal. The missing wheel fixing noted in the 2026 failure also highlights a lack of attention to basic vehicle safety inspections.
