2016 Audi A6 3.0L Diesel · BL66 MHM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 62,675 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, moving from a period of recurring consumable wear to a clean sheet in recent testing. While previous years showed intermittent faults, the lack of advisories in the latest test suggests the current owner has addressed outstanding issues before they reached failure status. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage profile, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between November 2019 and March 2020 where the car covered only 65 miles, but it has since maintained a steady progression of roughly 3,000 to 6,000 miles annually. This low annual mileage typically reduces mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to age-related rubber degradation if the vehicle is not driven frequently. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the record shows a persistent pattern of thinning pads. Between 2022 and 2025, the tester flagged low front pads followed by unevenly worn rear pads. This suggests either a lapse in proactive maintenance or a potential issue with sticking calipers causing uneven friction. A physical inspection should verify that the discs are not scored or warped and that the handbrake operates without binding. Tyre maintenance has also been a point of neglect, with faults recorded in 2019 and 2021 for tyres reaching legal limits or sustaining structural damage. While the most recent test is clear, the buyer should check for sidewall cracking or uneven tread wear given the low mileage and previous alignment issues. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and chassis for corrosion is also warranted, although no structural issues have been flagged in the history to date.
