AUDI A6 S LNE BLK ED 50 TDI QUAT SA2019 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline in proactive care. While the car passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 77,288 miles, it failed that same test due to multiple critical defects. The presence of an inoperative engine management light indicates a significant electronic or sensor fault that was addressed just prior to the pass. The recurrence of worn brake components suggests the owner is only addressing the minimum legal requirements to pass testing rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The car covered 14,770 miles between January 2023 and March 2025, followed by nearly 19,000 miles between March 2025 and April 2026. This recent surge in usage suggests heavier annual mileage which typically places higher stress on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. However, the clean record from March 2025 at 58,102 miles contrasts sharply with the multiple failures seen a year later as the mileage increased. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear braking system. The April 2026 record flagged pitted and scored discs alongside thin pads, indicating the rear assembly is nearing the end of its functional life. Attention should also be paid to the engine management system; the buyer must ensure the fault was properly diagnosed and not simply cleared to mask a turbo or sensor failure. Additionally, the previous 2023 advisory regarding uneven front tyre wear suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension components that should be verified during a test drive to ensure no premature damage to new tyres.
