2019 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · PJ19 LWT

A pattern of tyre wear and a recent electronic fault define the roadworthiness profile of this vehicle, which passed its latest inspection on 23 October 2025 following an initial failure. While the earlier history from 2022 to 2023 was clean, the more recent tests indicate a recurring issue with tyre tread depth and a major failure regarding the engine management light, suggesting a recent decline in the consistency of its roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 84,946 miles is high for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 12,135 miles per year. This level of usage typically results in accelerated wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems compared to lower-mileage examples. The consistent annual testing interval confirms the vehicle has remained in active use without significant periods of dormancy. Attention should be directed toward the engine management system given the major failure recorded in 2025. During a test drive, verify that no warning lights are present on the instrument cluster and listen for any irregular engine idling or hesitation under acceleration. The history of tyres being worn close to the legal limit, specifically on the nearside and offside rear, necessitates a close inspection of the current tread depths and a check for uneven wear patterns across the contact patch. Given the high mileage and the specific tyre advisories, the vehicle should be assessed for wheel alignment issues, which often cause the edge wear noted in previous tests. Listen for knocks or clunks over uneven surfaces, which could indicate wear in the suspension arms or bushings consistent with this mileage. Ensure the brake pedal response is firm and consistent, as the increased usage puts higher demand on the brake discs and pads.
