2014 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · AB11 WON

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 114,307 miles, it failed that same day due to an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light and structural corrosion. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they trigger an MOT failure, as evidenced by the recurring issues with exhaust leaks and brake fluctuations in late 2024 that were rectified only before the subsequent pass. At 114,307 miles, this 12-year-old A6 averages approximately 9,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for an executive saloon. The record shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 4,700 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 3,350 miles covered in the final year. This steady mileage suggests moderate road use, though it does not prevent the age-related degradation seen in the chassis and braking components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear sub-frames, as both have been flagged for corrosion since at least 2024. While the tester noted they were not yet seriously weakened, structural rust on Audi components often progresses rapidly once it begins to surface if not treated. The fluctuating offside front service brake noted in 2024 indicates likely warped discs or a sticking caliper, which should be checked for uneven wear or heat scoring. Furthermore, the engine malfunction indicator light must be verified with a diagnostic tool, as its failure in 2025 suggests underlying electronic or sensor faults. The history of perished tyre sidewalls and worn front edges indicates that basic consumable maintenance is often neglected until the point of failure. Given the age and mileage of the vehicle, the integrity of the exhaust system and the condition of the suspension bushings are critical areas to monitor to avoid immediate mechanical expenses.
