2016 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · A6 XYM

The Audi A6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 April 2025 at 99,563 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed test with no defects listed, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in April 2024 at 91,632 miles, April 2023 at 80,740 miles, and April 2021 at 60,469 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has not accumulated recurring mechanical or structural issues across its recorded history. Annual mileage averages roughly 9,956 per year against a ten-year lifespan, a typical use profile for this model. The jump from 60,469 miles in April 2022 to 80,740 miles in April 2023 shows around 20,000 miles covered in that year, double the average, before settling to nearer 11,000 and 8,000 miles in the following two periods. The MOT data is sparse on fault detail, with every entry listing no defects, so no wear trends on consumables or major assemblies are evidenced in the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion given the car's age and the higher-mileage 2022 to 2023 phase. The clean test history offers no flag for binding calipers or exhaust emissions faults, but DVSA tests at pass condition do not measure component life remaining. Verify the April 2025 duplicate test entries with DVSA to confirm the failure was a clerical error and not a withheld defect.
