2017 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · WD17 XPB

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on August 22 2025 with 55,380 miles and no recorded defects. This indicates that the mechanical and structural issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, moving from failures to a clean sheet in the latest inspection, suggesting the current ownership is proactive in rectifying necessary repairs. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,153 miles per year over the nine-year period. Between August 2022 and August 2024, the car covered 9,435 miles, while the final year leading up to the latest test saw 4,483 miles added. This low accumulation generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and internal engine components, though it can increase the likelihood of rubber-based parts perishing due to age and lack of movement rather than mechanical friction. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension geometry and tyre condition, following the August 2023 failure for a fractured offside rear coil spring at 46,341 miles. While the spring was replaced, a buyer should check for uneven tyre wear to ensure the alignment was correctly recalibrated after the repair. The 2024 advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn on the edge and the 2022 report of perishing tyres suggest that the vehicle is prone to age-related rubber degradation, so sidewalls should be checked for cracking despite the relatively low mileage.
