2009 Audi A6 5.0L Petrol · BK09 RRX

An unusually low usage profile defines this vehicle, which has maintained a consistent track record of roadworthiness through seven consecutive passing tests, including the most recent inspection on 30 March 2026. While the recent history shows no recorded defects, the longitudinal record includes an advisory in June 2018 regarding pitted and scored brake discs on both the front and rear axles. Since that 2018 advisory, the MOT results have remained clear of any recorded failures or further advisories, indicating a period of stable compliance over the last eight years of testing. The recorded mileage of 35,292 miles for a 2009 model represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 2,076 miles. This level of usage is significantly below the UK average for a vehicle of this age and suggests the car has spent substantial periods stationary or has been used only for very short, infrequent trips. From a mechanical standpoint, such low mileage can mean less wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, but it also increases the likelihood of components such as seals, gaskets, and rubber hoses becoming brittle or drying out due to lack of regular thermal cycling and movement. Given the specific advisory regarding brake disc surface condition in 2018, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during a test drive. While the discs were noted as pitted or scored but not seriously weakened at that time, you should check for any signs of pedal judder or pulsation under braking, which can indicate disc thickness variation or warping. Additionally, listen for any grinding or squealing noises when applying the brakes, and observe if the car pulls to one side, which could suggest a binding caliper or uneven pad wear. Because the vehicle has been driven so sparingly, it is also prudent to inspect the vehicle for signs of fluid leaks that may have developed during periods of inactivity. During the test drive, monitor the engine for any unusual idling or hesitation and listen for any knocks or clunks when navigating uneven surfaces, which would indicate that suspension components like control arm bushes or shock absorbers may have aged prematurely due to lack of use. Checking the condition of all rubber hoses and belts for cracking is also a necessary step for a vehicle with this specific mileage-to-age ratio.
