2009 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · BF59 LFV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a period of recurring wear-related failures. The most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 149,386 miles returned with no defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the history shows a pattern of reacting to faults as they fail, the two consecutive clean passes suggest the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a standard that prevents immediate deterioration. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Data shows a steady accumulation from 55,034 miles in 2013 to the recorded 149,386 miles in late 2025. There are no significant gaps in testing that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which often leads to accelerated rubber degradation and brake corrosion. The consistent annual usage suggests the car has been subjected to regular road-use, which explains the gradual wear on suspension rubber components and braking hardware seen throughout the record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the record reveals a long-term trend of worn bushes in anti-roll bar linkages and suspension arms. The tester flagged these issues in 2021, 2022, and 2023, indicating that these components are prone to fatigue on this specific model. Additionally, the braking system shows a documented history of thin pads and pitted discs. While the latest test was clear, the buyer should check for any caliper binding or uneven disc wear to ensure that the previous issues with worn components have not resulted in long-term mechanical damage to the braking assembly. The structural integrity of the vehicle has remained free of major failures in the recorded history, though the 2020 test noted offside and nearside front subframe bushes showing signs of wear. Given the age of the Audi A6, a thorough check of the subframe and mounting points is necessary to ensure that corrosion has not compromised the structural components. The recurring history of tyres reaching the legal limit also suggests that previous owners often deferred maintenance until the MOT deadline, so the buyer should verify the current condition and age of all tyres.
