Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough mechan
When viewing this vehicle, prioritize a thorough check of the braking system. The 2024 MOT recorded worn and pitted brake discs on both the front and rear axles, so you should verify if these were replaced following that test.
Additionally, investigate the condition of the suspension. The 2022 MOT noted worn lower suspension arm bushes on both sides. Ask the seller for evidence of any recent suspension work or part replacements. Given the high engine displacement (3993cc), ensure the cooling system and any turbocharger-related components have been regularly inspected, as these are critical for large-capacity petrol engines.
Running costs for this Audi A6 are expected to be high, primarily due to the 4.0L petrol engine. Expect higher-than-average fuel consumption and a significant insurance group rating.
Maintenance costs will likely be elevated; the MOT history already indicates that brake discs and suspension bushes are items that require attention on this specific car. Large-capacity German saloons often command premium prices for parts and specialist labour. Estimated annual running costs are higher than the typical hatchback or smaller saloon.
Focus your inspection on the braking components. Since the 2024 MOT highlighted pitted and scored discs on all four corners, check the current thickness and surface condition of the discs and pads.
Secondly, inspect the front and rear suspension. The 2022 MOT recorded worn suspension arm bushes; check for any knocking sounds when driving over uneven surfaces or during low-speed manoeuvres. Finally, because the mileage has reached 115,710, check for any signs of oil leaks or fluid degradation which are common as these high-capacity engines age.
This 2015 grey Audi A6 features a large 4.0L petrol engine and has covered 115,710 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 9,245 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear-related advisories, specifically concerning brake discs and suspension bushes.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 85.2% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, tyres, and anti-roll bars.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2015 model year cars.
- Coolant Leak in Engine "V"Moderate
The coolant shut-off valve fails, filling the engine "V" between the cylinder banks with coolant, causing a gradual loss that can lead to overheating if not topped up.
- 3.0 TDI Timing Chain RattleSerious
The V6 TDI timing chains sit at the rear of the engine and the hydraulic tensioners can weaken, causing cold-start rattle and potential chain jump if ignored.
- DPF Clogging and Regeneration IssuesModerate
Town-driven 3.0 TDI models block their DPFs, causing warning lights, limp mode and expensive DPF cleaning or replacement.
