2016 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · XR55 LEY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in July 2025 at 93,934 miles passed with advisories for worn rear brake discs and an illuminated TPMS light. While the car moved past a major failure in late 2024, the trend shows recurring issues with the front-end suspension and braking system, suggesting that components are only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. At 93,934 miles over ten years, the Audi has averaged approximately 9,400 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for its age. However, there is a significant gap in mileage data between September 2023 and November 2024, where the vehicle covered roughly 10,000 miles in just fourteen months. This burst of activity coincided with a cluster of mechanical failures in November 2024, where the car failed on multiple counts including a fractured coil spring, a split CV boot, and worn suspension bushes. A buyer must scrutinise the front suspension closely, as both nearside and offside front arm bushes were flagged as worn in late 2024 and remained a concern into subsequent tests. The braking system also shows a lack of consistency, with front discs failing significantly in 2024 and rear discs noted as thin by 2025. You should inspect the nearside front CV boot for grease leakage, as this component has a history of rapid deterioration, and verify that the TPMS light has been addressed to ensure it is not masking a persistent sensor fault or pressure leak.
