2017 AUDI A62.0L Diesel

The vehicle passed its latest MOT on 21 May 2026 at 175,981 miles with no defects recorded, confirming it meets current roadworthiness standards. The maintenance trend is stable; earlier issues such as tyre wear and a worn suspension arm have not reappeared, and the recent test shows no new faults, indicating the car has been kept within acceptable limits. Mileage accumulation over nine years averages roughly 19,500 miles per year, which is high for a 2017 model. The MOT records show a steady rise: from 39,069 miles in May 2020 to 58,902 miles in April 2021 (+19,833 miles), then jumps to 90,530 miles in May 2022 (+31,628 miles) and 119,165 miles in May 2023 (+28,635 miles). The progression slowed to 143,005 miles in May 2024 (+23,840 miles), 159,075 miles in May 2025 (+16,070 miles) and the most recent 175,981 miles in May 2026 (+16,906 miles). The twelve‑month interval between the 2025 and 2026 tests aligns with the standard annual MOT cycle, so the data set is current. A buyer should inspect the tyres for tread depth and any embedded objects, given the recorded wear close to legal limits on near‑side front, near‑side rear and off‑side rear tyres, plus a nail puncture noted in May 2023. The lower suspension arm bush on the near‑side front was flagged at 143,005 miles; check for excessive movement or noise and examine the arm pin for wear. Brake pads were thin at 58,902 miles; verify pad thickness and listen for squeal or vibration. Also assess the under‑tray covers fitted in 2020 for corrosion or damage to the under‑body panels. The high mileage raises concerns for drivetrain and brake disc condition, which were not highlighted in the MOT advisories. A visual check for disc corrosion, uneven pad wear and any fluid leaks is advisable. Combined with the past suspension wear, a thorough pre‑purchase inspection is recommended to confirm long‑term reliability and to identify any hidden wear before acquisition.
