Our Verdict
This 2013 Audi A6 offers good value for money but requires careful inspection of suspension components and tyres. The high mileage and recurring suspension issues suggest potential long-term costs.
Prioritise a mechanical inspection of the front suspension arms and bushes, as these have failed multiple MOTs. Check for tyre replacement records and ensure the vehicle has a full service history. Negotiate based on the high mileage and recurring suspension issues. Be cautious of potential hidden costs from worn suspension components, which may require replacement.
Diesel fuel economy for the 1.9L engine averages 40-50 mpg on the motorway, but drops to 30-35 mpg in urban driving. Road tax in 2026 would be £140 annually (CO2 emissions 149g/km). Insurance group 25-30 is typical for this model. Maintenance costs may rise due to suspension repairs, with bush replacements costing £200-400 per axle. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Focus on the front suspension arms and bushes for excessive wear, as these have repeatedly failed MOTs. Inspect tyres for uneven wear or replacement history. Check for oil or fluid leaks under the vehicle and test the headlamps for proper alignment. Verify that the engine and transmission operate smoothly without unusual noises.
The 2013 Audi A6 has a clean MOT history with no major failures, though recurring suspension arm bush wear and tyre wear near legal limits are notable. At 165,932 miles, the mileage is significantly above average for a 13-year-old vehicle, which may impact reliability and resale value.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Audi A6, but the 1.9L diesel engine is generally reliable when properly maintained.
