AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

A consistent track record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle, with the most recent test on 06 October 2025 showing no defects. The inspection history demonstrates a stable pattern of roadworthiness, as the car has passed its last four annual tests without any recorded failures. The only recorded irregularity in the provided history is a single advisory from September 2021 regarding an offside rear tyre showing signs of cracking or perishing, a condition that was not repeated in subsequent inspections. The vehicle has covered 61,753 miles over its nine-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,861 miles. This usage profile is relatively low for a 2017 Audi A6, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to the high-frequency mechanical wear typically associated with long-distance motorway commuting. From a mechanical standpoint, this lower mileage often means that high-stress components such as the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and braking systems may have more remaining service life than a higher-mileage equivalent, though it also necessitates checking that the vehicle has not spent extended periods stationary. Given the specific advisory noted in 2021 regarding tyre degradation, a prospective buyer should conduct a close visual inspection of all four tyres, looking specifically for sidewall cracking or perishing, particularly on the offside rear. While the recent 2024 and 2025 tests show no current issues, it is prudent to check the manufacture dates of the tyres to ensure they are not aged beyond their effective service life regardless of tread depth. During a test drive, pay close attention to any vibrations through the steering wheel or unusual road noise that could indicate uneven wear or age-related rubber hardening. Beyond the tyre history, the lack of recorded defects in recent years suggests that structural integrity and major components like brake pipes and exhaust systems have met minimum standards during inspections. On the test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension when traversing uneven surfaces and check for any pulling to one side under braking to ensure the steering and braking components remain within specification. Since the mileage is relatively low, ensure that the vehicle's mechanical components are being exercised regularly to prevent any stagnation-related issues.

Our Verdict

A strong candidate for consideration, pa

When inspecting this specific A6, focus on the service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has received timely oil changes, which is critical for long-term reliability. While the MOT history is clean, you should verify that all recent maintenance, such as brake pad replacements or suspension checks, has been documented independently of the MOT tests.

Because the 2021 MOT noted a tyre issue (offside rear tyre cracking/perishing), check the current condition of all four tyres to ensure they are not nearing the end of their life. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, it is also worth confirming if the timing belt/water pump has been addressed, as this is a common maintenance requirement for this engine type around this mileage.

As a 1968cc diesel, this A6 is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, typically offering competitive fuel economy for its class. Tax and insurance costs will vary depending on the specific insurance group and the buyer's profile, but as a 2017 model, it should fall into a standard bracket for executive saloons.

Annual running costs are estimated to be moderate, though diesel engines can face higher costs if DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) issues arise from short-distance driving. Expect typical maintenance costs for a premium German saloon, including higher-than-average costs for specialist parts and labour.

Inspect the tyres thoroughly; the MOT history shows a previous advisory for a perishing offside rear tyre in 2021, so ensure the current set is high quality and has sufficient tread. Check the suspension components, as 'suspension arm' is a top failure reason for this model aggregate.

Additionally, check the headlamp functionality and clarity, as 'headlamp' failures are common across the model range. Finally, ensure there are no signs of oil leaks around the engine bay, which can sometimes be present on higher-mileage diesel engines.

This 2017 Audi A6 presents with a relatively clean MOT record, having passed its last four tests without any recorded defects. With 61,753 miles on the clock, it has covered slightly more than the model average of 9,242 miles per year. The black 2.0L diesel variant appears to have been used regularly, as evidenced by the steady annual mileage increments.

The Audi A6 shows an average MOT pass rate of 85.1% across 143,634 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to headlamps, suspension, and tyres.
