2017 Audi A4 3.0L Petrol · VO17 TPV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards worsening condition on consumable components. In the most recent test in April 2026 at 80,157 miles, the car passed despite multiple advisories regarding all four brake discs being pitted and scored, along with a nearside front tyre reaching the 2mm legal limit. This indicates that while the vehicle is currently compliant, the braking hardware is nearing the end of its service life and requires attention. The mileage is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of over 10,000 miles between February 2024 (59,585 miles) and February 2025 (70,179 miles), followed by another 10,000-mile interval leading up to the de-facto 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity, which explains the wear patterns on the mechanical components noted in the latest records. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the uniform pitting and scoring on all discs suggest either corrosion from long-standing or aggressive use. The damaged offside front windscreen also requires monitoring for crack propagation that could affect structural integrity of the glass. Furthermore, the recurring history of tyre wear on the edges in 2024 and 2026 necessitates a suspension alignment check and inspection to ensure bushes or shocks are not causing uneven tyre degradation.
