2022 Audi A4 S LN BLK ED 35 Tfsi Mhev SA 2.0L Petrol · YC22 PCV

A consistent pattern of front and rear tyre wear advisories defines the roadworthiness record of this 2022 Audi A4 S Line Black Edition 35 TFSI MHEV. Both MOT examinations on file, the most recent being a pass on 18 May 2026, have flagged tyres worn close to the legal limit on their edges. The 2025 test recorded both front tyres reaching this threshold, while the 2026 test noted the nearside rear tyre similarly affected and additionally identified a nail in the same tyre. With no advisories relating to braking components, suspension, corrosion, exhaust, or emissions on either occasion, the mechanical picture is narrowly focused on premature or uneven tyre wear rather than broader structural or system deterioration. That said, recurring edge wear on multiple corners across consecutive tests suggests a persistent geometry or alignment issue that has not been resolved between examinations. Recorded mileage stands at 27,818 miles across approximately four years, which equates to a typical annual accumulation of around 6,954 miles per year. This is a broadly average usage profile for a vehicle of this age and segment, meaning consumable wear should track in line with expectations rather than being disproportionately accelerated by high mileage or skewed by extended periods of standing. The mileage recorded between the 2025 and 2026 tests implies continued regular driving, and there are no extended absences from the road that would raise concerns about dormant component degradation such as seized brakes or deteriorated rubber components. The usage pattern is therefore unremarkable and supports a straightforward mechanical prognosis based on the advisory findings alone. The repeated edge-wear advisories across both axles warrant close scrutiny of the suspension and steering geometry. On a test drive, listen for knocking or clonking noises from the front suspension, particularly from the wishbone bushes, top mounts, and anti-roll bar links, as worn or soft bushes can permit camber changes under load that scrub the inner or outer shoulders of the tyres. Over uneven road surfaces, feel for vagueness in the steering response, any pulling to one side under braking or acceleration, and tramlining where the car follows ruts in the road surface excessively. Inspect all four tyres for uneven shoulder wear patterns, as consistent inner-edge wear may indicate worn front suspension bushes or top mounts, while outer-edge wear can point to insufficient camber adjustment. Because the nearside rear was specifically marked as worn on edge in 2026 and additionally had a nail, the rear suspension should also be checked for worn trailing arm bushes, coil spring fatigue, and any signs of uneven camber that would produce asymmetric tyre wear. The fact that both front tyres reached the legal limit within a single annual cycle, and that a rear tyre has now followed suit, suggests that wheel alignment has either never been checked or has been allowed to drift out of specification. Before purchase, a four-wheel laser alignment check is strongly advisable, along with a close inspection of the sidewalls for any bulges, cracking, or perishing given that the tyres appear to be wearing through at a rate that may shorten replacement intervals. The remainder of the recorded MOT record is clean, with no advisories relating to brake disc wear, caliper binding, brake pipe corrosion, exhaust integrity, or structural rust, so attention can remain concentrated on resolving the tyre wear pattern and confirming that the suspension is geometrically sound. A test drive should also include firm braking from speed to check for pull, vibration through the pedal, or any binding that could indicate uneven torque distribution, and a check of the undertray and wheel arch liners for evidence of corrosion given the S Line trim's susceptibility to surface oxidation in these areas.
