2015 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · SW15 KYN

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear downward trajectory regarding suspension and consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 58,939 miles passed, it revealed multiple advisories for worn tyres, thin brake pads, and a binding caliper. This shift from the clean record in 2022 suggests that the owner is now only addressing faults at the point of failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 58,939 miles, this 11-year-old Audi has covered significantly low mileage, averaging roughly 5,350 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with less mechanical wear but can lead to the degradation of rubber components due to age. The data shows a consistent gap of approximately 5,000 to 7,000 miles between annual tests, yet the failure in July 2024 at 51,673 miles due to suspension arm bushes indicates that despite the low mileage, components are reaching the end of their service life due to environmental exposure. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension arms, as the record shows a persistent history of worn bushes dating from 2023 through the 2024 failure. The 2025 advisory for a misting offside front shock absorber indicates a seal is beginning to fail, which will require replacement shortly. Furthermore, the binding nearside front brake and the thin offside rear pads necessitate a brake system service to check for seized calipers or uneven pad patterns. The recurring edge wear on multiple tyres across several years also suggests an alignment issue that has not been properly resolved.
