2018 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · WF18 FSE

The most recent MOT from February 2026 passed, but it highlighted significant tyre issues, including damaged and perishing rear tyres and front tyres worn close to the legal limit. A clear pattern of tyre wear and degradation has emerged over the last few years. While the vehicle had clean reports in 2022 and 2024, the most recent two tests show a worsening trend regarding rubber condition and wear. The mileage of 57,482 is typical for an eight-year-old car. This suggests a balanced usage profile, meaning there is likely standard wear on consumables without the extreme degradation associated with very high mileage or the seizing risks of a vehicle left standing. The primary risk is a lack of recent preventative maintenance regarding the tyres. The mention of perishing and cracking suggests the rubber may be aged or poor quality, rather than just worn from driving. When inspecting the car, you must first check the current state of all four tyres to ensure they have been replaced since February. Carefully examine the sidewalls for cracks and check the tread depth across the width of the tyre to ensure there is no uneven wear.
