2016 Audi RS6 Performance Tfsi Quattro A 4.0L Petrol · HRZ 4

A spotless MOT history over the past five years underscores that no roadworthiness‑related defects have been recorded for this 2016 Audi RS6 Performance, with the most recent test on 17 July 2026 confirming a pass and no logged failures. The consistency of clean results across each annual inspection suggests that, at least at the times of testing, the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions standards without issue. At 52,303 mi the car averages roughly 5,200 mi per year, a mileage figure that is low for a ten‑year‑old performance sedan. Such a modest annual accumulation typically translates to reduced wear on high‑stress components such as brake discs, clutch assemblies and tyre tread, but it can also indicate periods of limited use during which rubber seals, hoses and bushings may have aged without the benefit of regular operating heat cycles. The absence of any testing gaps longer than twelve months means the recorded mileage is likely representative of actual use, reducing the risk of undisclosed high‑kilometre periods hidden between tests. Although the MOT record shows no specific advisories, a buyer should still scrutinise the RS6’s suspension and steering geometry, given the vehicle’s performance orientation and the potential for age‑related bushings or control‑arm wear. On a low‑speed drive, listen for any clunks or knocks when traversing bumps, feel for excessive play in the steering wheel, and check that the car tracks straight without a pull to one side. Braking should be assessed for pedal firmness and consistent pedal travel; any pulsation, sponginess or unusual noise may point to latent disc or pad wear not captured by the MOT. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system, especially the catalytic converters and any visible rust on the under‑tray, as corrosion can develop beneath the chassis even when MOT checks have passed. Inspect the engine bay for any signs of oil seepage around valve covers, the oil filter housing and the turbocharger inlet, as minor leaks may not trigger a MOT failure but can presage future maintenance. Confirm that the service history, if available, aligns with the low mileage and that the next MOT is scheduled before the current certificate expires, allowing a fresh assessment of the car’s roadworthiness before committing to purchase.
