2013 Audi S4 3.0L Petrol · RO63 OCE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening in specific age-related wear areas. While it passed its most recent test in May 2025, it failed just ten days prior due to multiple critical tyre and suspension issues. The presence of advisories for worn front upper suspension arm pins and bushes indicates that the chassis is beginning to deteriorate despite the low overall mileage. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old Audi, averaging only 5,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between May 2024 and May 2025, where the car covered fewer than 4,000 miles in twelve months. While low mileage is generally positive for the engine and drivetrain, it explains the recurring issues with rubber-based components and tyres, which tend to dry out and perish when sitting stationary rather than from friction. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the upper arm bushes have been flagged in multiple consecutive tests. Given the history of perishing and structural tyre failure, it is vital to check the age and condition of all four tyres, as the previous records show a pattern of cracking and lumps. Additionally, the braking system should be inspected, as rear pads were already noted as thin far back in 2023, suggesting they may require replacement soon.
