AUDI A62013 · 2.0L Diesel

The Audi A6 presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 16 September 2025 at 68,343 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, and prior annual examinations returned passes with no advisories logged. The single failure on 15 September 2025 at identical mileage of 68,343 miles recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages 5,257 across the vehicle's thirteen-year life, which is low for a 2013 executive saloon. The records show steady, light use: 58,166 miles at the October 2023 test, 62,610 miles by September 2024, and 68,343 miles by September 2025. No abrupt accumulation or standing gaps appear between tests, and the sparse clean history suggests the previous keeper maintained statutory testing discipline without deferred entries. The repeated same-day fail-pass pattern in both 2023 and 2025, with zero defects cited, points to clerical or process anomalies rather than recurring wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion-prone structures. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of subframe and sill integrity given the car's age, and verify the front coil springs and rear calipers for binding given low-mileage cars often suffer perished rubber and seized components through inactivity. Confirm the 15 September 2025 failure reason with the issuing test centre before purchase, as DVSA logs show no defect data. Otherwise, the absence of advisories across four years implies conscientious upkeep, though low use warrants scrutiny of tyre sidewall cracking and flat-spotted tread from prolonged standing.
