2013 Audi A4 1.8L Petrol · OU63 OAS

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on November 3 2025 at 68,965 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive pattern. While the most recent test indicated no defects, the immediate failure on that same day due to an excessively worn offside front suspension arm bush and a structural failure in the nearside front tyre suggests that the owner tends to address mechanical issues once they reach a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 68,965 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the record, with a gap of only 3,721 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. While low mileage often suggests less wear on the drivetrain, the age of the rubber components is evident. The suspension bushes and the structural tyre tear in 2025 indicate that the vehicle may suffer from age-related degradation and perish despite the low distance covered. A buyer should focus specifically on the front suspension geometry, as the arm bushes are a recurring failure point noted in both 2024 and 2025. The braking system also shows a clear history of neglect, with thin pads being flagged in 2018, 2020, 2023, and 2024. A physical inspection of the remaining pad life and disc condition for scoring or thinning is essential. Furthermore, the 2020 failure regarding an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp warrants a diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden electronic faults remain in the engine management system as this vehicle has been prone to sensor issues.
