2008 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · AE08 SVP

The 2008 Audi A6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 8 May 2025 at 162,159 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the four successive annual tests from April 2022 to May 2025, the vehicle cleared every examination without advisories, indicating consistent upkeep and no worsening mechanical condition over the period. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for an 18-year-old vehicle. The record shows 138,858 miles at the April 2022 tests, rising to 150,608 by May 2023, 154,879 by May 2024, and 162,159 by May 2025. This equates to roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles per year in the logged interval, slightly below the 9,009 annual average implied by the total, suggesting moderate rather than severe drivetrain or suspension loading. The sole blemish is a failed test on 13 April 2022 at 138,858 miles, reversed by a pass the following day with no defects listed on either entry. Such a pattern typically reflects a minor administrative or emissions retest rather than a substantive repair, though the buyer should confirm the original failure cause from the full DVLA failure sheet. Given the clean advisory history, no recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, or corrosion issues appear in the data. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers, as an MOT pass does not preclude worn consumables or latent rust unseen at test.
