2002 Audi A6 2.5L Diesel · YE02 AWG

The 2002 Audi A6 with 145,052 miles shows a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT, conducted on 2023-04-21 at 145,052 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Earlier tests in 2023-04-19 and 2019-08-22 also passed or failed without recorded issues, suggesting no critical mechanical failures. However, the absence of defects in these records does not confirm the vehicle’s current condition, as the last MOT predates the current date by over three years. The car’s maintenance history lacks detailed fault reports, leaving gaps in understanding its long-term reliability. The mileage of 145,052 miles over 24 years equates to an average of 6,044 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. Notable gaps exist in the MOT timeline, with the 2017-10-14 test at 141,545 miles followed by no further records until 2019-08-22, a 22-month interval. This suggests possible irregular maintenance or periods of inactivity, which could affect components like the exhaust system, suspension, and corrosion resistance. The lack of recurring issues in the MOT history implies consistent upkeep, but the vehicle’s age necessitates scrutiny of wear-prone parts. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade over time without immediate failure. Brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant close examination for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly given the car’s high mileage. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or fatigue in the chassis may not appear in MOT records. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the vehicle’s age and mileage demand a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical soundness.
