Our Verdict
A solid choice for high-distance commuting with a consistent MOT record. While the mileage is above average for its age, the recent clean passes suggest a level of basic maintenance.
When inspecting this A6, prioritise the service history to ensure the 100,000-mile service interval was properly addressed, specifically regarding the timing belt and water pump. Given the vehicle failed an MOT in September 2025 and passed five days later (indicated by the mileage gap between the failure and pass), ask the seller exactly what caused the failure to ensure it wasn't a recurring mechanical issue.
Check for signs of oil leaks around the engine block, which is a known area for concern on older TDI engines. Because the car has covered over 100k miles, also inspect the condition of the suspension bushings and anti-roll bars, as these are identified as common failure points across the A6 fleet.
The 2.0-litre diesel engine is relatively efficient for long motorway journeys, but expect higher fuel costs in city driving. The Tax band will be based on the specific Euro emission standard, and insurance groups are typically mid-to-high for premium executive cars.
Maintenance costs can be higher than a standard hatchback due to premium parts pricing and specialist labour requirements. Budget an annual running cost of approximately £1,200-£1,600 to cover fuel, tax, insurance, and routine wear and tear items.
Pay close attention to the September 2025 MOT failure at 101,594 miles; although no defects were recorded on the subsequent pass, the reason for the initial failure should be verified. Common issues for this model include headlamp brightness. Ensure all lights are functioning as these units are expensive to replace on this model.
Inspect the tyres for even wear and sufficient depth, as aggregate data shows tyres are a frequent failure reason for this model. Additionally, check for any play or uneven tyre wear which could indicate issues with the anti-roll bars, a noted weakness in this generation.
This 2012 Audi A6 sits at 101,622 miles, which is significantly higher than the annual average of 9,211 miles for this model. However, despite a recent MOT failure in September 2025, the vehicle has passed its last four annual tests with no defects recorded upon passing. The 2.0L diesel engine is a common choice for this era, though high mileage necessitates careful inspection of wear.
The Audi A6 generally shows robustness, but anti-roll bars and headlamp assemblies are frequent MOT failure points across the fleet.
