AUDI A62002 · 3.0L Petrol

The Audi A6 passed its most recent MOT on 12 February 2026 at 143,925 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the last three years reads as stable with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged. The vehicle carries a clean test history from February 2024 through February 2026, showing no worsening condition and no outstanding structural or consumable concerns in the official record. Recorded mileage sits at 143,925 against a 24-year-old chassis, equating to roughly 6,000 miles per year and confirming light use for its age. The data shows only 1,375 miles added between the February 2024 test at 141,550 miles and the February 2026 pass at 143,925, with the 2025 and 2026 failures logged one day before each pass at near-identical mileages of 142,575 and 142,922. Those same-day fail-then-pass pairs with no defects recorded point to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection, and the sparse, clean record gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected gaps. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the vehicle's age and low annual use, as prolonged standing can seize components the MOT roller test will not always expose. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes warrants close examination despite the absence of advisories, since a 2002 Audi A6 is prone to hidden rust that a clean sheet does not rule out. The recurring zero-defect pattern implies previous owners kept the car to a basic legal standard with no flagged neglect, though the twin failed entries suggest the seller or tester mishandled documentation rather than the car itself. Verify service history and check for dry-rotted tyres or perished rubber from low-mileage storage before purchase.
