2018 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · AF18 WCC

The Audi A6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 80,245 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle met statutory standards at that point. The prior failure on 8 August 2025 at the same mileage carries no listed defects, indicating a administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven stop. Recorded mileage sits at 80,245 against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 10,000 miles per year and reflecting typical use for the model. The jump from 51,244 miles on 2 February 2023 to 51,975 miles on 7 March 2023 shows light early running, then 15,474 miles accrued by 19 June 2024 and a further 12,796 by August 2025. The DVSA history is sparse and clean throughout, with no advisories or noted wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. The absence of advisories does not rule out latent issues such as worn coil springs, binding calipers, or early structural rust unseen at test. The twin August 2025 tests at identical mileage warrant confirmation that no rectification work followed a concealed defect. Pre-purchase checks ought to target brake disc condition, exhaust emissions under load, and underbody structural integrity. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet the lack of flagged consumable wear suggests components may now sit close to replacement thresholds unseen by the tester.
