2017 Audi A6 4.0L Petrol · 5183 MH

The 2017 Audi A6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 January 2026 at 63,744 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual passes from December 2022 to January 2025 also logged clean sheets. The only blemish is a failed test on 6 December 2022 at 58,551 miles, which the record shows with no defects listed; the vehicle passed two days later on 8 December 2022 at 58,552 miles, indicating the failure was likely administrative or a minor rectification rather than a serious mechanical fault. The mileage pattern sits at roughly typical use for a nine-year-old car, averaging about 7,083 miles per year. The record moves from 58,551 miles in December 2022 to 63,744 miles by January 2026, a gain of just over 5,000 miles across three years. The clean history with no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion points to light use and a previous owner who kept the car garaged or lightly driven rather than neglected. Given the absence of any flagged wear on consumables or structural items across the test span, a buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of common A6 weak points not always caught in a pass. Check front lower arm bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding after standing, since low annual mileage can let moisture cause seizing. Examine underside subframes and sills for early corrosion, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under load. The two-day fail-and-pass in December 2022 warrants a glance at the V5C and any garage invoices to confirm what the tester raised. Otherwise the DVSA data shows no worsening trend, no recurring faults, and no evidence of skipped basic upkeep across the recorded life.
