2016 AUDI A62.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 26 May 2026 at 40,106 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This lack of recorded failures suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained without the mechanical or structural degradation typically seen in older executive cars. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old Audi, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 33,742 miles and May 2026 at 40,106 miles, the car covered only 6,364 miles. The intervals between tests show consistent usage, though the low annual accumulation suggests the car was likely used for short-distance trips rather than frequent long-distance motorway commuting. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of rubber-component degradation and brake seizing due to extended periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than distance. Check the suspension bushes for cracking and inspect the coil springs for perish marks, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dry rot. The brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or pitted calipers, which occur when a vehicle is not used frequently. Additionally, verify the age of the tyres for sidewall cracking, as tread depth often remains high while the rubber reaches its structural life limit.
