2015 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · RJ15 FXD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test conducted in May 2026 at 120,439 miles revealed multiple advisories related to tyres, suspension, and braking components. While the car passed, the accumulation of worn tyres across all axles and a misting nearside front shock absorber suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure or trigger an MOT advisory. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old premium vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. There is a significant jump of 9,134 miles between the May 2024 and May 2025 tests, during which the vehicle suffered a major failure of both front wheel bearings. The interval of 7,691 miles between the May 2025 and May 2026 tests shows steady usage, but the high mileage explains the rapid wear seen on consumable items like brake pads and tyres between these annual inspection intervals. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The front wheel bearing failure in 2025 was severe, and the current misting on the shock absorber indicates a seal is likely nearing the end of its functional life. The pitted and scored rear brake discs, combined with thin pads, suggest the braking system is beyond simple pad replacement. Furthermore, the sidewall damage on the nearside rear tyre and the edge wear on all other tyres indicate that a full set of rubber is required immediately to ensure safety and proper handling.
