AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2018 Audi A6 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT result, which passed on 2026-04-07 at 121,468 miles with no defects recorded. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows consistent compliance since 2023, with no critical failures or advisories. However, a failed test on 2025-04-15 at 107,735 miles—despite no defects being listed—raises questions about potential technical inconsistencies or unrecorded issues. The absence of defects in subsequent tests suggests resolution, but the lack of transparency around the 2025 failure warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 121,468 miles over eight years equates to an average of 15,184 miles annually, which is above the typical range for its age. Notable jumps in mileage include 16,270 miles between the 2024-04-19 test (91,465 miles) and 2025-04-16 (107,739 miles), indicating increased usage. This rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on consumables like brake pads and suspension components. The MOT record lacks detailed defect reports, offering limited insight into gradual deterioration, though the clean pass in 2026 implies no immediate risks. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The failed 2025 test, though unexplained, suggests potential issues with emissions or exhaust systems that may require further investigation. Visual checks for rust on underbody components and structural integrity are also advised, as these are common concerns for vehicles of this age and usage pattern. The absence of recurring defects in MOT records supports the car’s reliability, but proactive inspection of high-mileage components remains prudent.
