2015 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · WU65 LMK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in October 2025 at 87,147 miles. However, the history reveals a period of neglect culminating in a failure just days prior to that test. The tester identified multiple critical safety and mechanical defects including an inoperative engine management light, headlamp alignment failures, and structural damage to both front tyres. While the vehicle passed the most recent test, the trend suggests a reactive maintenance style where faults are only addressed when an MOT failure occurs rather than through preventative care. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 63,155 miles and October 2025 at 87,147 miles, the car covered nearly 24,000 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and seals compared to long periods of sitting. The gap between tests indicates that the vehicle has been used consistently throughout the standard annual testing intervals. A buyer should inspect the suspension geometry closely, as recurring reports of tyres worn on the edges in 2023 and 2024 indicate persistent alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The 2022 advisory regarding pitted front brake discs and thin pads suggests the braking system has historically been run to the limit of failure. Furthermore, the 2025 failure regarding the inoperative engine management light requires a diagnostic scan to ensure no underlying engine faults are being masked. Verify the current state of the front tyres to ensure the structural damage noted in the final failure was properly replaced with high-quality components.
