2008 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · VO08 AEC

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthiness state based on the most recent MOT pass on 20 August 2024. The record shows a consistent pattern of passing tests, although the car failed twice shortly before passing in August 2022 and April 2024. The absence of recorded defects or advisories in the passing certificates suggests the car meets the minimum legal requirements for safety and emissions. The mileage is typical for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,123 miles per year. Usage remained consistent between August 2021 and August 2022, with the odometer climbing from 162,290 to 174,809 miles. A slower rate of accumulation followed, reaching 182,208 miles by August 2024. This steady usage pattern indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber seals. The MOT history is unusually clean for a high mileage Audi A6 of this era. The lack of recorded advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion is atypical for a vehicle with 182,208 miles. This suggests either a rigorous preventative maintenance regime or a lack of detail in the tester's reporting. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common age related failures that may not have been flagged. Priority should be given to checking for structural corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points. Given the mileage, the condition of the timing belt, water pump, and gearbox oil should be verified via service receipts, as these critical drivetrain components are not assessed during a standard MOT test.
