2007 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · MF57 KAU

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-04 showed the vehicle passed with several minor issues, including worn shock absorber bushes, suspension rod pin wear, and tyres near the legal limit. These findings align with recurring patterns seen in earlier MOTs, suggesting ongoing wear in suspension components and tyre condition. The 2025-02-04 MOT also noted similar tyre wear and brake hose deterioration, while the 2025-01-31 failure included a fuel cap issue and exposed tyre sidewalls. A consistent pattern of brake hose degradation, suspension component wear, and tyre condition issues emerges across multiple MOTs. The 2024-01-29 MOT highlighted exhaust corrosion and shock absorber oil misting, while the 2024-01-25 failure included headlamp alignment and anti-roll bar bush wear. These issues indicate gradual deterioration in key areas, though no single failure suggests imminent danger. The 2026 MOT showed no new critical failures, but the persistence of similar defects over years suggests the vehicle’s mechanical systems are experiencing steady wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 173,739 miles over 19 years equates to roughly 9,144 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This does not strongly indicate heavy use or prolonged inactivity, but it does suggest normal wear and tear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. The absence of significant mileage spikes or drops means the condition trends are likely reflective of consistent usage rather than extreme stress or neglect.
