2015 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · YS64 WRF

The 2015 AUDI A4 carries a record of seven MOT tests between November 2019 and November 2025, with six passes and two advisories that together paint a picture of generally good roadworthiness tempered by persistent tyre concerns. The 2023-11-17 and 2021-11-20 tests each issued an advisory noting that the nearside front tyre and offside rear tyre respectively were worn close to legal limits, marked as (5.2.3 (e)). Despite these intermittent warnings, the vehicle has consistently cleared the MOT test format through its most recent passing on 2025-11-29, suggesting the core powertrain and drivetrain remain within acceptable parameters. At 151,906 miles and approximately 11 years of ownership, the vehicle accumulates about 13,810 miles annually – a rate far exceeding typical expectations for a model of this age. Such elevated mileage correlates directly with the repeated tyre advisories, as the front near-side and off-side rear tyres have experienced accelerated wear and are now operating dangerously close to their legal tread thresholds. This sustained high-usage profile places considerable stress on the suspension geometry, wheel bearings, and brake components, meaning that even minor issues such as worn bushings or slightly misaligned tyres can manifest as noticeable handling problems or premature component failure. On a test drive, pay particular attention to the front left and off-side rear tyres, listening for a rhythmic thumping or knocking over bumps which indicates uneven wear or possible internal casing damage. The steering should remain centred and responsive throughout corners, and brake pedal feedback should be firm and even rather than spongy or pulsating. Inspect the brake discs visually for scoring, glazing, or excessive pad wear, as the high mileage exposure has increased the likelihood of thermal degradation in the braking system. While the 2019-01-04 child seat fitting advisory relates to safety equipment installation rather than roadworthiness, it serves as a reminder that certain accessories require proper verification regardless of the main vehicle condition. For this buyer, the priority should be a thorough visual and tactile examination of the tyres, followed by a focused check of the suspension bushings, control arm pivots, and brake components. Any signs of bushing play, abnormal steering behaviour, or visible brake wear should prompt further investigation or negotiation before finalising the purchase.
