2016 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · RO16 NTX

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a concerning shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 173,101 miles passed despite all four tyres being worn to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This follows a pattern established in June 2024 at 144,803 miles where the front tyres were flagged for similar issues, suggesting a neglect of basic consumable inspections. At 173,101 miles over ten years, this Audi has covered an average of 17,310 miles per annum, which significantly exceeds the national average for its age. The data shows high-intensity usage, particularly between June 2021 and November 2025, where the vehicle clocked nearly 70,000 miles in just over four years. This rapid accumulation of mileage places immense strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components, which is reflected in the increasing frequency of mechanical faults noted in the later MOT records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the June 2023 test at 129,616 miles identified worn upper and lower arm bushes alongside corrosion on the rear coil spring mounts. The recurring tyre edge wear across the last two tests indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension components that have not been addressed. Furthermore, the corrosion on the rear spring mounts requires close monitoring to ensure it does not progress into structural failure, as high-mileage German vehicles often face accelerated exposure to road salt and moisture.
