2011 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · AY61 WHD

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent passing MOT on 30 September 2025 at 116,355 miles. While the car has maintained a consistent pass rate, the most recent inspection flagged rear brake pads wearing thin. This advisory indicates a standard consumable wear pattern rather than a mechanical failure, though it suggests the braking system is approaching its next service interval. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,757 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 42,783 miles in August 2014 to the current 116,355 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or evidence of sudden, heavy mileage surges that would indicate atypical drivetrain stress. The continuity of the annual tests suggests regular road use and consistent regulatory compliance. A single failure occurred on 29 September 2023 at 106,157 miles due to a fractured offside rear coil spring. The subsequent pass in 2024 without defects suggests this component was replaced and the suspension issue was resolved. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension assembly for any signs of weeping dampers or perished bushes, as the coil spring failure indicates the suspension components are entering a phase of age-related degradation. Given the advisory regarding thin rear brake pads in the 2025 test, a physical inspection of the brake discs and calipers is necessary to check for uneven wear or binding. While the history is largely clean, the transition from a broken spring to thinning brake pads shows a shift toward routine maintenance of consumables. Checking the overall condition of the braking system and the integrity of the suspension components will be essential to ensure no further structural or mechanical issues are developing.
