2014 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · LS14 ABX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of deferred attention regarding basic consumable components. The most recent test in October 2025 at 108,012 miles passed with an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit and showing inner edge wear. This mirrors a situation seen in 2021 where both front tyres were flagged similarly, suggesting the owner tends to replace rubber only upon inspection failure. The mileage profile is consistent, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle. There is a notable gap in records between June 2022 and October 2023, where the car covered roughly 7,000 miles in sixteen months. The failure in June 2022 at 91,008 miles due to mismatched tyre sizes on the front axle is a significant lapse in safety standards that indicates a lack of attention to detail during that period, though the issue was rectified for the re-test. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry. The recurring inner edge tyre wear noted in 2021 and 2025 often points to alignment issues or worn ball joints and control arm bushes. Additionally, the braking system shows a history of surface corrosion and pitting on the front discs in 2021 and rear discs in 2023. While these did not cause failures, the current thickness of the discs and the condition of the calipers should be verified to ensure they are not nearing the end of their functional life.
