2008 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · YE58 AEA

This Audi A6 shows a stable roadworthiness trend based on the available data. The most recent test on 16 September 2024 at 153,623 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 10 September 2024 and 7 September 2023, the records provide no specific defect descriptions for those failures. The rapid turnaround between the failures and subsequent passes suggests the owner addressed the required repairs promptly to maintain legal compliance. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 8,535 miles per year. There is a clear pattern of usage, with 10,863 miles added between the September 2023 test and the September 2024 test. This steady accumulation indicates the car has remained in active use rather than sitting idle, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and braking systems from seizing. The absence of recorded advisories across the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Typically, a 2008 model would show wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, or evidence of corrosion on the underside. The clean record implies either a very high standard of preventative maintenance or a lack of detailed reporting by the testing stations. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common failure points for this chassis that the MOT record does not highlight. Prioritise checking for structural rust on the sills and wheel arches. Inspect the brake discs for lip wear and check the suspension components for play, as these are high-wear items at 153,000 miles that often precede an MOT failure.
