2015 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · MD15 FUB

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 165,872 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just six days prior due to significant suspension wear. The tester noted that the front lower suspension arm bushes were excessively worn during the failure, though the upper bushes showed wear in the subsequent pass. This suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach a failure threshold rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 165,872 miles, this 11-year-old Audi has covered a significant distance averaging approximately 15,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent high-frequency usage, with 7,736 miles covered between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 7,064 miles in the following year. This high level of mileage puts constant stress on the drivetrain-related components and suspension, which is reflected in the recurring issues related to rubber bushes and damping components. A buyer should focus their inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The history shows repeated worn bushes on both the upper and lower arms, alongside a light misting on the offside front shock absorber as of 2025. These components should be checked for further degradation or leaks that could indicate imminent failure. Additionally, the rear brake discs were flagged as pitted and scored at 165,872 miles, and previous failures for thin pads indicate the braking system is frequently nearing the end of its life. The nearside drive shaft CV boot, which was noted split in 2024, must be inspected to ensure no grease leakage has damaged the joint.
