2016 Audi A6 4.0L Petrol · FK08 ROB

The vehicle's MOT history shows a pattern of recurring mechanical and consumable issues, though the most recent test on 3 October 2025 indicates a pass. The maintenance trend appears inconsistent, moving from a failure in October 2024 to a pass in late 2025. While the recent result lacks the major failures seen previously, the advisory regarding a corroded nearside rear coil spring suggests that structural component degradation is beginning to surface. The recorded mileage of 102,952 miles over approximately ten years averages roughly 10,300 miles per year. This represents typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT records provided cover a period from October 2023 to October 2025, showing regular annual testing. There are no significant gaps in the testing frequency within this three-year window. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the engine bay and underside due to a persistent oil leak noted in three consecutive tests between October 2023 and November 2024. The October 2024 failure involving the supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicates a previous fault with the airbag or seatbelt pretensioner system that requires verification of a successful repair. The corrosion on the nearside rear coil spring noted in the October 2025 advisory warrants close examination to determine if further suspension components are affected by similar oxidation. The history also shows intermittent issues with consumables and peripheral components. The tester flagged inoperative headlamp cleaning devices in both October 2024 and November 2024, alongside windscreen wiper failures in October 2024. Previous tyre issues, including a cut reaching the cords in October 2023 and edge wear in October 2023, suggest that tyre management has been an occasional concern. Checking the current condition of all tyres, wiper blades, and headlamp washers is necessary. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
