2024 Audi A4 S Line 40 Tfsi Mhev S-A 2.0L Petrol · RO24 ABU

A critical safety failure regarding tyre integrity defines the recent testing history, though the vehicle ultimately achieved a clean pass on 2026-08-04. The failure recorded on 2026-07-28 was classified as dangerous due to damaged ply or cords in the nearside rear tyre, indicating a structural compromise to the tyre carcass. The subsequent pass confirms this specific defect was rectified, leaving the current roadworthiness record free of outstanding advisories. The recorded mileage of 11,284 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 5,642 miles per year. This low rate of accumulation suggests limited mechanical stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and braking system. Such usage patterns typically result in less wear on major mechanical components compared to high-mileage examples, although it may also indicate periods of inactivity. Given the dangerous failure associated with the nearside rear tyre, a physical inspection of all four tyres is essential. The buyer should check for any further sidewall bulges, cuts, or evidence of impact damage that could indicate a pattern of curb strikes or road debris damage. During a test drive, any unusual vibrations through the steering wheel or a perceptible pull to one side should be noted, as these can be symptoms of structural tyre failure or subsequent wheel alignment issues. As the vehicle has no recorded history of corrosion, oil leaks, or suspension wear in its DVSA records, the focus should remain on the integrity of the rubber components and the operation of the mild-hybrid system. Ensure the brake pedal feel is firm and consistent, and listen for any abnormal knocks or rattles from the suspension over uneven surfaces to confirm that the low mileage has not masked any latent component issues.
