2019 Audi A4 2.0L Petrol · RN55 ALN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in early February 2026, but the maintenance trend shows a recent lapse in mechanical oversight. A failure just day prior at 36,869 miles revealed a fractured offside rear coil spring and significant corrosion-related deterioration of the lower spring mounting. While these suspension issues were rectified to secure a pass the following day at 36,879 miles, the presence of structural weakening suggests the owner only reacts to MOT failures rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,268 miles per year. There is a visible gap between the July 2022 test at 22,492 miles and the February 2023 test at 24,612 miles, where the car sat for several months. Since then, the usage has remained consistent, covering roughly 5,000 miles over the last three years. This low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals, which may align with the corrosion found on the rear suspension mount. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension assembly thoroughly to ensure the replacement coil spring and mounting were installed with high-quality parts. The reported excessive deterioration of the lower mount is a concern for potential salt-induced rust elsewhere on the chassis that may been left unchecked. Additionally, the recurring failure of windscreen wiper blades in February 2026 indicates a disregard for basic consumable upkeep. Check the current tyre condition for uneven wear, as the 2022 record already flagged rear tyres reaching the legal limit, which could indicate alignment issues.
