2015 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · SF65 WRA

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-07 recorded 129,196 miles, with rear brake pads wearing thin, a corroded rear sub-frame, and a nearside rear tyre close to the legal limit. These issues indicate ongoing wear on critical components, particularly braking and suspension systems. The front registration plate’s deterioration and the sub-frame corrosion suggest potential neglect or exposure to harsh conditions. Recurring mechanical patterns include tyre wear, brake-related advisories, and suspension issues. Tyres have been flagged multiple times since 2022, often near the legal limit, raising concerns about maintenance practices or excessive wear. Brake components, including pads and service brakes, have shown gradual decline, while shock absorbers and wheel bearings have also required attention. These issues point to a vehicle experiencing consistent use, with no clear evidence of significant improvements. The trend shows a mix of stable and worsening conditions. While some issues like the nearside rear tyre and brake pads have reoccurred, others such as the wheel bearing (addressed in 2022) have not resurfaced. However, the 2025 MOT’s multiple advisories suggest that wear is not being fully mitigated, and the vehicle may be approaching a point where more frequent repairs are needed.
