2019 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · BA68 RWN

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 23 January 2026 with no defects recorded. The overall maintenance trend is highly stable, exhibiting a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last four years. The only recorded advisory occurred in January 2022, noting that underbody trays and covers prevented a full inspection. While this is common for the aerodynamic design of the Audi A6, it means the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the under-floor components were not fully verified during that specific test. With a recorded mileage of 87,816 miles over approximately seven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 12,545 miles per year. This usage rate is considered high for a private vehicle and suggests a life spent primarily on longer commutes or motorway journeys. While high mileage can indicate a well-run engine, it also means that wear-and-tear components, such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and drivetrain consumables, have been subjected to significantly more stress than a low-mileage example of the same age. Given the clean MOT history, the buyer should focus on physical wear that may not trigger a failure but affects long-term reliability. A thorough inspection of the suspension is recommended, listening for clunks or knocks during a test drive which could indicate worn control arm bushes or failing coil springs. The brake system should be scrutinized for disc corrosion or thinning pads, and any shuddering under heavy braking should be noted as a sign of warped discs. Additionally, the tyre sidewalls should be checked for perishing or uneven wear, which would suggest a need for wheel alignment or suspension geometry correction. It is critical to verify the service history to ensure that calendar-based and mileage-based fluid changes have been performed. Specifically, the buyer should confirm that the gearbox oil has been replaced according to the manufacturer's schedule, as neglecting this on high-mileage Audi transmissions can lead to premature failure. Finally, because of the previous advisory regarding underbody covers, a professional pre-purchase inspection should include the removal of these trays to check for oil leaks from the engine or gearbox and to assess the chassis for any signs of corrosion that may have been hidden from the MOT inspector.
