2014 Audi A4 S Line Black Edition TDI 2.0L Heavy oil · SM63 FSG

Consistent compliance with safety standards defines this vehicle's history, as evidenced by a clean pass on 8 August 2026 and a largely blemish-free record spanning back to 2019. The only recorded departure from this trend occurred in June 2024, when an advisory was issued regarding wear in the nearside front lower suspension arm bush. Since that intervention, the vehicle has successfully cleared two subsequent annual inspections without further defects, suggesting that the identified suspension component was either rectified or has not yet progressed to a state requiring replacement. Accumulating 108,469 miles over twelve years results in an average annual usage of approximately 9,000 miles, placing the vehicle squarely within typical parameters for this model. The consistent testing intervals indicate that the car has remained in active service throughout its life without significant periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this steady usage pattern generally suggests that the drivetrain and ancillary systems have been subjected to regular operational cycles rather than the accelerated degradation often associated with high-mileage fleet use or the potential for seized components common in long-term storage. Prospective buyers should focus their inspection on the front suspension architecture, specifically the lower control arms and associated bushings that were flagged in 2024. During a test drive, listen closely for any metallic knocking or clunking noises when traversing speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, as these are primary indicators of bush degradation. Furthermore, pay attention to the steering response; any vague feeling in the wheel or a tendency for the vehicle to pull to the nearside under braking or acceleration could suggest that the previously noted suspension wear has returned or that the tracking requires adjustment. Beyond the specific suspension history, ensure the vehicle maintains a neutral line on straight roads and that there is no audible vibration through the steering column at motorway speeds, which could point to secondary wear in the ball joints or track rod ends. While the recent MOT history is clean, the age and mileage of the vehicle necessitate a thorough check of the undercarriage for any signs of surface corrosion on the subframe or degradation of the brake lines, as these are common areas of concern for Audi A4 models of this vintage. Confirm that the brakes provide a firm, progressive pedal feel without judder, ensuring the calipers are not binding and that the braking force is applied evenly across all four wheels.
