2015 Audi A4 3.0L Diesel · LR15 LCK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. In the most recent test in February 2026 at 103,444 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories related to suspension and tyre wear. While the car passed, the presence of worn lower suspension arm pins and bushes on both nearside and offside front indicates that components are reaching the end of their functional life and will soon require replacement. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap of nearly 9,000 miles between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 8,800 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This steady annual accumulation suggests regular road use. However, the MOT failure in March 2023 at 79,561 miles reveals a period where critical safety items like tyres and shock absorbers were neglected between service intervals. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry closely, as the recurring issues with worn bushes noted in 2026 can lead to unpredictable handling and premature tyre wear. The 2023 failure for a serious fluid leak on the offside rear shock absorber and exposed tyre cords suggests previous ownership ignored defects until they reached failure. You should verify that the TPMS light flagged in 2025 has been rectified and check if the deteriorated rear registration plate requires replacement, as it has been a persistent advisory across multiple years.
