2017 Audi A4 3.0L Petrol · SX67 EMJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a persistent trend of deferred suspension component replacement. The most recent test in November 2025 at 65,198 miles flagged wear on both nearside and offside front upper suspension arm pins or bushes. While these did not result in a failure at that time, they represent a recurring issue first noted in December 2022, suggesting that these components are aging without proactive intervention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,244 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation, moving from 41,164 miles in late 2021 to 65,198 miles by late 2025. This regularity suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stationary storage, which often leads to rubber degradation and seal failure, but the relatively low mileage does not exempt the vehicle from the mechanical wear and tear observed in the MOT records. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the repeated flagging of the upper arm bushes across multiple years indicates they are nearing the end of their functional life. The history also shows a pattern of neglecting tyre maintenance, with multiple tyres recorded as reaching the legal limit or wearing uneven in 2021, 2022, and 2024. This suggests the previous owner only replaced consumables when forced by a MOT tester, which necessitates a thorough check of the current tyre tread depth and alignment to ensure no hidden issues are present.
