2023 Audi A4 S LN BLK ED 35 Tfsi Mhev SA 2.0L Petrol · PB02 BER

The most recent MOT, conducted on 14 July 2026, resulted in a full pass but issued two advisories concerning the nearside and off‑side front tyres, both flagged as being close to the legal tread limit with measurements of 2.5 mm and 2 mm respectively. No mechanical failures were recorded, indicating that the vehicle’s core systems – engine, transmission, brakes, suspension and emissions – remain within acceptable condition. With only a single MOT entry available, the trend appears stable; the only emerging issue is tyre wear, which should be addressed promptly to avoid a future failure. At three years old and 25,240 miles on the clock, the car averages roughly 8,400 miles per annum, a usage pattern that sits squarely within the typical UK driver’s range. This mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive high‑speed or heavy‑load operation, which helps preserve the longevity of wear items such as suspension bushes, clutch components and drivetrain bearings. The relatively modest annual distance also reduces the likelihood of accelerated corrosion, though any prolonged periods of inactivity would still merit a visual inspection for rust on the under‑body and wheel arches. Prospective buyers should give the front tyres immediate attention. The tread depths reported are at the brink of the statutory minimum of 1.6 mm, and uneven wear can be a sign of mis‑alignment, worn suspension bushings or uneven loading. During a test drive, feel for any vibration or pulsation through the steering wheel at higher speeds, listen for thumping noises when cornering, and inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking or dry rot, especially if the tyres are more than three years old. If the tread is uneven, a professional alignment and a full tyre replacement are advisable to restore optimal grip and handling. Beyond the tyres, the vehicle’s age warrants checks on time‑sensitive items. Verify the condition of the 12 V battery – a three‑year‑old battery may be approaching the end of its service life, so a load test is prudent. Examine the brake discs for surface rust or glazing, particularly if the car has spent long periods stationary, and ensure the pads still have adequate thickness. Inspect all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and the mild‑hybrid battery coolant – for correct levels and signs of contamination, as fluid degradation can occur even with low mileage. Finally, request a full service history to confirm that scheduled oil changes, filter replacements and any software updates have been performed in line with Audi’s maintenance schedule.
