2012 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · AO12 LUZ

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a significant failure in its most recent MOT test in February 2026. While the car maintained a clean record between 2022 and 2025, the latest inspection results at 151,756 miles indicate a sharp decline in maintenance standards. The presence of multiple failures including a major exhaust leak, insecure piping, and worn suspension bushes suggests that essential mechanical upkeep has been neglected recently after several years of passing tests. The mileage profile remains consistent with a typical-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,840 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation between 111,201 miles in January 2022 and 141,986 miles in January 2025. However, the jump of nearly 10,000 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests coincides with the accelerated wear observed on hardware components, specifically the front inner suspension arms and the integrity of the exhaust system. A physical inspection must focus on the front suspension geometry, as the 2026 test identified worn inner arm pins and bushes. The buyer should also verify the repair of the front exhaust pipe sleeve, as a major leak will affect emissions and structural security. Furthermore, the nearside front tyre requires replacement due to edge wear, and the rear brake discs show signs of pitting that indicate long-term corrosion. The frayed offside front seat belt and the active TPMS light are secondary safety concerns that must be addressed before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy.
