2016 Audi A6 3.0L Diesel · SR16 AAN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest inspection in April 2026 at 88,052 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of instability during a significant failure in March 2025, which has since been resolved. While the most recent test indicates no active defects, the presence of an advisory regarding uneven nearside front inner tyre wear suggests that the owner was only beginning to address alignment issues before the final retest. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2026, the car covered 11,977 miles, representing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of inactivity or heavy commuting. The 4,400-mile gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests aligns with annual testing, though the rapid retest in March 2025 immediately followed the failure. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension and wheel geometry. The April 2026 advisory notes the nearside front tyre wearing specifically on the inner edge, which often indicates incorrect camber, worn suspension bushes, or a bent control arm. Furthermore, the 2025 failure for an ABS warning lamp and tyre pressure monitoring system requires verification that these electronic faults were fully rectified and not merely cleared with a diagnostic tool to pass. The 2024 advisory for cracking on the offside front tyre also suggests the rubber may be reaching the end of its life despite the relatively low mileage.
