2008 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · WN58 TYC

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT in November 2025, but this followed a failed test for critical safety defects. These included a rear tyre with exposed cords, rear brake pads worn below 1.5mm, and a split drive shaft CV boot. There is a clear and recurring pattern of failure regarding the drive shaft CV boots and the rear braking system. In late 2024, both front CV boots were severely deteriorated and a rear coil spring was broken. By November 2025, another CV boot had failed, suggesting that these components are prone to rapid wear or that previous repairs were not long-lasting. The overall condition trend appears unstable because the same issues with the brakes and drivetrain have appeared across multiple tests. The rear brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in 2024 and had reached a dangerous level of wear by late 2025. The recorded mileage of 149,482 miles is typical for an 18-year-old car. This suggests a standard level of wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, rather than excessive hard use or the risks associated with a vehicle that has sat idle for long periods. A buyer should first inspect the condition of the CV boots and listen for clicking sounds during tight turns, which would indicate internal joint wear.
