Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution before considering this vehicle. The exceptionally high mileage and rapid recent distance covered present significant mechanical risks.
A primary concern for any buyer is the sheer mileage; at nearly 386,000 miles, this vehicle is an extreme outlier. You should demand a full service history to see how the engine and transmission have been maintained under such heavy use. Negotiating should be heavily influenced by the fact that most components are likely near the end of their functional life.
When inspecting, check for any signs of heavy wear in the interior and ensure the diesel engine does not exhibit excessive smoke or unusual noises. Given the high mileage, verify if major items like the timing belt, water pump, or turbocharger have been replaced recently, as these are critical failure points on the 1968cc diesel engine.
Fuel economy for a 2.0L diesel Audi A6 of this era is generally efficient for motorway cruising, but high mileage can lead to decreased efficiency if components are worn. Tax and insurance groups will vary depending on the specific engine output and driver profile.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the age and mileage. While parts for this model are widely available, the frequency of repairs required for a vehicle with nearly 400,000 miles will be a significant factor in your annual budget. Expect an estimated annual running cost in the range of £1,500-£2,200 once fuel and maintenance are combined.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and braking systems. Although the recent MOTs did not record specific defects, the model aggregate data suggests headlamps, tyres, and anti-roll bars are common failure points for this Audi A6. Given the mileage, check the condition of the anti-roll bar links and bushes specifically.
Additionally, inspect the tyres for even wear, as high-mileage vehicles often suffer from alignment issues. Because the 2024 MOT showed a failure followed by a pass with no recorded defects, ensure you understand exactly what caused that failure to confirm it was a minor issue rather than a symptom of deeper mechanical fatigue.
This 2013 black Audi A6 has covered 385,560 miles as of its last MOT in July 2024, which is significantly higher than the model average. While the MOT history shows recent passes, the vehicle has covered over 160,000 miles in just the last year between recorded tests. This pattern of usage suggests intensive long-distance driving that places immense strain on all major mechanical components.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 85.1% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to headlamps, tyres, and anti-roll bars.
