Used audi a4 avant 2012 oil change
Discussion
Hi all,
I am very close to buying a used A4 avant s-line black edition, 12 plate.
60k miles. This will be bought from main audi dealership.
My only hesitation is the service history. This looks comprehensive, every year/10-15k miles for first 3 years, and then there is basically a 26k/2 year gap until the car arrived at dealership.
They say they have done:
-MPC
-Internal service (PDI)
- brake fluid change
The dealer is trying hard to convince me this is basically a full service and it should be fine, and that oil must have been changed also at PDI (I asked for evidence).
My other concern is, it looks like no oil change for 26k miles... which sounds a lot. They are going to try and find out if it was done independantly (they only have the audi online system view).
The cars computer says next oil change in 9k miles.... but I dont know if this system is just easily reset by them or if that means it must have been done.
The car drove fine to the best of my knowledge and otherwise seemed fine. Service history also lists a couple of recalls and non warranty repairs without details, which I will ask for but I'm suprised they dont list what the actual repair was.
Any advice on this? Car is £15.5k, coming with 12 months warranty and next 2 services fee. If it looks like no oil change for 26k miles is that a big red flag or just a minor concern?
