2022 Audi A4 S LN BLK ED 35 Tfsi Mhev SA 2.0L Petrol · SW72 EWG

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test in May 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the transition from a clean sheet in 2025 to structural advisories indicates a shift in required attention. While the car passed the inspection, the presence of corrosion on key suspension mountings marks the beginning of environmental degradation that requires monitoring to prevent future structural failure. At a recorded mileage of 34,496 miles over four years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,624 miles per year. This aligns closely with typical annual usage patterns for a modern commuter. The 6,699 miles driven between the August 2025 test and the May 2026 test indicate consistent regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. This steady interval suggests the mechanical components have been subjected to normal operating conditions which generally prevents the issues associated with stagnant-mileage vehicles. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the nearside and offside rear lower coil spring mountings. Although the tester flagged these as corroded but not seriously weakened in May 2026, rust can accelerate rapidly on these components if untreated. The inspection should check for any surface flaking or thinning of the metal that could lead to a spring snap. Given the relatively low mileage, the presence of this corrosion suggests potential exposure to road salt or harsh environments rather than mechanical wear and tear, making preventative underbody treatment advisable for long-term structural integrity.
