2016 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · AF16 VBX

The Audi A6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 February 2026 at 163,464 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from April 2023 to April 2025 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 11 April 2023 at 137,644 miles, which the record shows with no defects listed, followed immediately by a pass on 12 April 2023 at 137,712 miles. This suggests an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage stands at 163,464 on an early 2016 car, averaging roughly 16,300 miles per year, which is high for the age but consistent across the record. The gap between the April 2023 pass at 137,712 miles and the April 2024 pass at 149,783 miles shows about 12,000 miles covered, with similar annual distances in 2024 to 2025 and 2025 to 2026. No rapid accumulation or long dormant periods appear. The clean advisory history across four years implies the previous owner kept on top of consumables and mechanical wear. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, the MOT data alone reveals no ongoing structural or mechanical risks. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for structural rust and check the condition of suspension components and brake calipers, as high mileage increases the chance of unseen wear not captured in a pass result. The drivetrain should also be assessed for oil leaks and gearbox condition given the 163,000-mile count. The failed-then-passed sequence in April 2023 warrants a glance at the original failure reason if the VOSA slip is available, though the no-defect listing points to paperwork rather than repair. Overall, the documentary history supports a well-maintained high-mileage executive car with no red flags in the official record.
