Our Verdict
This 2007 Audi A6 presents mixed value. While its recent MOT history shows mostly clean records, the high mileage and recurring tyre issues raise concerns. It may suit budget buyers willing to invest in maintenance but carries moderate risks.
Prioritise checking the tyre condition, as the 2026 MOT noted multiple tyres near legal limits or showing cracking. Insist on a full service history to verify maintenance consistency. Negotiate based on the high mileage and potential future repairs. Look for evidence of brake disc servicing, as the 2021 MOT flagged worn front discs. Be wary of hidden rust or electrical issues common in older Audis.
Diesel fuel economy for the 2.969cc engine is moderate, with typical 30-35 mpg. Road tax in 2026 would be £140 annually for diesel cars registered before 2017. Insurance groups for 2007 Audis typically range from 15-20. Maintenance costs could exceed £500 annually due to age-related repairs, including potential turbocharger or transmission work. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Focus on the tyres: the 2026 MOT highlighted multiple tyres near legal limits or cracked, requiring immediate replacement. Check the brake discs for further wear, as the 2021 MOT noted pitting. Inspect the engine for oil leaks or unusual noises, common in high-mileage diesels. Verify the exhaust system for rust or cracks, and test all electrical systems, which can degrade in 19-year-old vehicles.
The 2007 Audi A6 has a mostly clean MOT history with only minor issues in its latest test. However, its 160,896-mile odometer reading is significantly above average for a 19-year-old vehicle. The black diesel model shows no aggregate reliability data, but tyre wear and brake disc inspections are critical. Its age and mileage suggest higher maintenance demands.
No aggregate reliability data available for the Audi A6, but diesel models of this era generally require careful maintenance due to complex engine systems.
