2016 Audi A4 2.0L Petrol · WT16 YNJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning disregard for basic consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 115,869 miles passed, it followed a failure just three miles prior where all four tyres failed on tread depth requirements. The front tyres were below the legal 1.6mm limit with inner sidewall damage, indicating that the previous owner deferred tyre replacement until the vehicle reached a point of total test failure. At 115,869 miles over ten years, the Audi has averaged approximately 11,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a motor vehicle. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 13,000 miles covered between November 2022 and November 2023, and another 13,000 miles between November 2023 and October 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the car has been used regularly, but the high mileage places significant demand on wear components like suspension bushings and drivetrain-related hardware. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the suspension and alignment. The recurring reports of tyres wearing on the inner edges across multiple tests from 2023, 2024, and 2025 strongly suggest a persistent geometry issue, worn control arm bushes, or faulty ball joints. This unresolved mechanical fault led to premature tyre degradation and could compromise handling. The buyer should also check the brake discs for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the history indicates a reactive rather than proactive maintenance philosophy.
