2017 Audi A6 4.0L Petrol · 90 OCH

The Audi A6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 October 2025 at 72,629 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 1 October 2024 at 66,723 miles. The earlier failure on 1 October 2024 at 66,720 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the available record the vehicle shows no advisories or recurring defects, pointing to consistent upkeep. The mileage pattern raises a clear anomaly against the vehicle's age. In the 30 October 2023 test the odometer read 99,952 miles, yet by 1 October 2024 it had dropped to 66,720 miles and then to 72,629 by October 2025. That reversal suggests a cluster or replacement of the instrument pack, a faulty recorder, or a data entry error at DVSA. Annual use between 2024 and 2025 ran at roughly 5,900 miles, below the 8,070-mile average for a nine-year-old car, but the prior 2022 to 2023 span showed about 3,600 miles added in fourteen months. The record is sparse, with only five entries, and all passes bar the defect-free failure carry no advisories. A buyer should physically verify the true mileage and interrogate the 2023 to 2024 drop before purchase. Inspect the dashboard clocks and VIN-linked service history to confirm the recorder was not swapped to mask wear. With no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion flagged across the tests, the structural and mechanical baseline looks sound on paper. Given the clean advisory history, focus the viewing on tyre condition, wiper blades, and underbody for any latent rust the MOT did not capture. The absent defect list implies previous owners met statutory tests but provided no early-warning data on consumable fatigue.
