2014 Audi A6 3.0L Diesel · F14 PJA

The 2014 Audi A6 shows a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three MOT cycles, with the most recent test on 29 October 2025 at 111,105 miles passing without any defects. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained to meet minimum legal standards in the intervening period, though the October 2024 test reveals a pattern of deferred suspension and tyre issues that were only partially addressed before the next MOT. The absence of major advisories or structural failures in the latest test indicates no immediate cause for concern, but the history highlights recurring wear on front suspension bushes and tyre integrity that warrant closer scrutiny. Mileage progression indicates typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 9,259 miles annually. There is a notable gap between the 2023 and 2022 tests, with 6,054 miles accumulated in just over a year, followed by a slower 6,993 miles in the next 18 months. This suggests periods of both active use and potential inactivity, which could influence wear patterns on components like suspension and tyres. The most recent MOT, just under nine months ago, aligns with the vehicle’s average annual mileage, reinforcing the need for a current inspection to confirm no deferred maintenance has accumulated since. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the front suspension components, particularly the lower control arm bushes, which were flagged in October 2024 as worn but not yet failing. Excessive play or cracking in these bushes could lead to alignment issues or uneven tyre wear, compromising handling. The previous exposure of tyre ply in both the front and rear nearside tyres—despite passing the 2025 MOT—indicates either a recent replacement or a temporary fix. Verify the tread depth and structural integrity of all tyres, as well as the condition of the wheel rims for signs of corrosion or damage. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the exhaust system for leaks or rust penetration, as well as the condition of the brake calipers and discs—especially if binding was previously noted—would be prudent.
