  "account": "The fifth generation of the Audi A4 (B9) was available from late 2015 to late 2024. The model, along with the Mercedes C-Class and BMW 3 Series, was popular among fleet and company car customers, as well as private buyers. According to TÜV main inspections, the Audi A4 has a good record, with lower than average fault rates despite high mileage. However, older models tend to have issues with axle suspension and springs. Around 5,000 used A4 B9 models are currently available on mobile.de, with prices starting at around 7,000 Euros for high-mileage vehicles.",
  "summary": "The Audi A4 is often driven for business purposes, which is why there are many used ones on the market. The TÜV statistics show what interested buyers should pay attention to.",
