2007 Audi A4 3.1L Petrol · YT07 GDA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening pattern of structural corrosion and consumable neglect. In the most recent test on 31 May 2025 at 122,038 miles, the inspector noted nearside and offside front tyres were near the legal limit with edge wear. While the vehicle continues to pass, the recurring advisory regarding the rear sub-frame, which has appeared since 2022, indicates an ongoing process of oxidation that has not been rectified. The mileage profile is consistent with the vehicle's nineteen-year age, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation from 104,259 miles in March 2021 to 122,038 miles in May 2025, representing roughly 17,700 miles over four years. This low annual mileage suggests light use, which in vehicles of this era often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces compared to high-mile examples. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame and rear suspension components, as these have been flagged for corrosion in multiple tests, including 2024 and 2025. The previous deterioration of lower suspension arm ball joint dust covers noted in 2023 suggests the suspension system may be reaching the end of its service life. Further attention should be paid to the exhaust box outer skin, which showed signs of corrosion in 2024, and the alignment of the vehicle, as recurring edge wear on tyres indicates potential geometry issues.
