Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When reviewing this vehicle, prioritise the service history to confirm that the fractured offside rear coil spring identified in March 2025 was replaced with a quality part. You should also ask for evidence of any remedial work carried out on the rear suspension arms following the corrosion advisories recorded in March 2024.
Given the 1968cc diesel engine, ensure you verify the timing belt and water pump replacement intervals, as these are critical for the long-term health of this powertrain. Negotiate based on whether the suspension corrosion has been treated or if the arms now require full replacement.
The 2.0L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys, which helps offset the higher initial purchase price of an Audi. Insurance groups for the A4 are typically mid-range, and the vehicle will fall into a tax bracket based on its 2017 CO2 emissions.
Typical maintenance for this model includes periodic suspension work and diesel particulate filter (DPF) care if used primarily for short city trips. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are estimated to be moderate for a car of this class.
Pay close attention to the rear suspension. The MOT history specifically highlights a fractured offside rear coil spring (March 2025) and corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear suspension arms (March 2024). Inspect these components for signs of recent replacement or ongoing rust.
These specific issues align with aggregate data from 307,029 analysed vehicles, where coil springs and suspension arms are listed as top failure reasons for this model. Check the windscreen wipers as well, as these are also a common failure point for the A4 range.
This blue 2017 Audi A4 diesel has a recorded mileage of 78,896 as of its last MOT in March 2026. The vehicle's history shows a generally consistent record, although it did fail its March 2025 test due to a fractured offside rear coil spring. Additionally, corrosion was noted on both rear suspension arms during the 2024 inspection.
The Audi A4 has an average MOT pass rate of 80.7%, with common failures frequently linked to coil springs and suspension components.
