2021 Audi A4 S LN BLK ED 40 Tfsi Mhev SA 2.0L Petrol · VE70 VRW

The 2021 Audi A4 maintains an overall stable roadworthiness status, though the maintenance trend is currently worsening. The December 2025 test at 23,244 miles flagged both front tyres, recording the nearside front at 2.8mm with outer sidewall damage and the offside front at 2.8mm with worn edges. No cords were exposed at the time of testing, yet these advisories indicate the vehicle has recently endured a period of neglected basic upkeep. Prior to this, the record shows a clean bill of health, with passes recorded in December 2023 at 10,921 miles and December 2024 at 17,998 miles without any defects. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a vehicle of this age. Accumulating just 23,244 miles over five years equates to roughly 4,649 miles annually, well below the national average. The recorded intervals show steady accumulation rather than rapid spikes, with 7,077 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and 5,246 miles covered between December 2024 and December 2025. Such low mileage typically reduces wear on mechanical components, but prolonged standing degrades rubber components like tyres and suspension bushes, which aligns with the recent tyre deterioration observed in the latest test. A prospective buyer must inspect the front tyres closely, as outer sidewall damage constitutes a structural risk that can lead to sudden failure regardless of remaining tread depth. Beyond the tyres, a physical underbody inspection is warranted to assess the structural integrity of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which may have perished from age rather than mileage. Brake discs and calipers require thorough checking for corrosion and binding, common issues on lightly used vehicles that spend extended periods stationary. The exhaust system and MHEV components should also be examined for corrosion and proper function, ensuring the mild-hybrid system operates as intended.
