2016 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · RK66 YMD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a clear trend of accelerating suspension wear. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 143,727 miles passed, it noted minor advisories regarding a damaged rear reflector and a deteriorated front registration plate. This followed a failure just one day prior due to an excessively worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush, indicating that while immediate faults are being addressed, the underlying front-end components are reaching the end of their service life. At 143,727 miles, this ten-year-old Audi has covered a high average of approximately 14,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent, heavy use, with roughly 9,400 miles logged between October 2024 and October 2025, and another 11,500 miles between October 2023 and 2024. This high mileage accumulation places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension assemblies, which explains the progressive degradation of the rubber bushes and arms noted throughout the MOT records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The record from October 2024 flagged worn bushes on both upper and lower arms across both sides, which evolved into a mechanical failure by the 2025 test. This recurring pattern suggests the entire front suspension assembly is nearing comprehensive replacement of multiple components. You should check for any play in the ball joints and signs of cracking in the remaining bushings, as the high-mileage profile often leads to rapid secondary wear in these critical components.
