2018 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · RO54 ELB

As a 1968cc diesel, this Audi A4 is designed for efficiency on motorways, though running costs will be influenced by its high annual mileage. You should expect reasonable fuel economy for long-distance travel, but be mindful of potential AdBlue requirements or ULEZ-related considerations depending on your local area.

Maintenance costs for an Audi of this age and mileage can be higher than average due to the complexity of its components. Expect to budget for more frequent consumable replacements, such as tyres and brakes, given the distance it covers. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, fall in the mid-to-high range for this class.

First, inspect the suspension thoroughly. The MOT history specifically flagged a fractured offside rear coil spring in June 2024; check for any signs of weeping from shock absorbers or knocking sounds when driving over bumps, as suspension arms are also a common failure point for this model aggregate.

Second, examine the braking system. The 2023 MOT record noted thin brake pads on both the front and rear; verify that the current pads and discs have sufficient life remaining and that there is no excessive vibration during braking. Finally, check the condition of the windscreen wipers and blades, as these are noted as a top failure reason for this model type in our aggregate data.
