2019 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · SP19 VUN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding suspension components and tyre wear. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 112,589 miles passed, the tester flagged worn pins and bushes on both front lower suspension arms. This follows previous advisories for worn rear tyres reaching the legal limit, indicating that the vehicle's consumable rubber components are now reaching the end of their service life and require attention. The car has accumulated high mileage for its seven-year age, averaging approximately 16,000 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between February 2025 and February 2026, where the vehicle covered nearly 13,000 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation places high stress on the drivetrain and suspension assembly, which is evidenced by the mechanical failure in February 2025 due to a fractured offside rear coil spring at 99,696 miles. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the play in the arm bushes noted in the latest record. The history of cut tyres and uneven wear suggests potential alignment issues or poor maintenance that should be verified. Given the high mileage and the previous failure of a coil spring, the shock absorbers and mounts should be checked for signs of excessive wear or structural fatigue to ensure no further mechanical failures are imminent.
