2013 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · AD58 FLY

This 2013 Audi A6 presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 29 November 2025 at 126,210 miles passing with zero defects. The vehicle has consistently passed its annual tests without advisories or failures across the available record, indicating diligent upkeep and no recurring mechanical or structural concerns. The maintenance trajectory is stable and improving, as the car has moved from a period of heavier use into a phase of very light annual mileage with no emerging faults. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of changing ownership patterns. Between the December 2022 test at 99,257 miles and the November 2023 test at 114,317 miles, the car covered 15,060 miles in under twelve months, a notably brisk pace for a large executive saloon. From November 2023 onward, the annual mileage dropped sharply to just 4,288 miles by November 2024 and then to 7,605 miles by November 2025. This suggests the vehicle transitioned from regular long-distance use to lighter, more local duties in recent years. The overall average of roughly 9,708 miles per year remains typical for a thirteen-year-old car, and the record shows no suspicious gaps or anomalies in test continuity. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas that MOT tests only sample. The Audi A6 platform of this era is known for wear in front suspension bushes, drop links, and track rod ends, particularly on cars that have spent significant time on rough urban roads during higher-mileage phases. The rear brake calipers on this generation can also develop sticky slides, which may not always present as a binding fault under test conditions but will cause uneven pad wear over time. Inspect the inner edges of all four tyres for uneven wear, and check the exhaust system for corrosion around the flexi-joint and rear silencer, as these are common failure points on higher-mileage examples. Structurally, examine the inner wings, sills, and subframe mounts for any signs of corrosion, particularly if the car has been stored or used infrequently in recent years, as standing vehicles can develop surface rust in drainage points. The dual-mass flywheel and gearbox should be assessed for judder or rattling at idle, a known concern on higher-mileage A6 models with the 2.0 TDI or 3.0 TDI engines. Given the clean record, this example appears well-maintained, but the shift from high to low annual use warrants attention to components that deteriorate from age and standing rather than from mileage alone.
