2015 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · C5 DWT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift from perfect maintenance to reactive repairs. While the car achieved four clean passes between 2022 and 2025, the June 10 2026 test at 152,929 miles flagged multiple defects. The tester identified thin rear brake pads and both nearside and offside front tyres worn to the legal limit. This suggests that the current owner may be neglecting routine consumable replacements after several years of clean records. The mileage profile shows consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year over the eleven-year period. Between the June 2024 test at 127,224 miles and the 2026 test at 152,929 miles, the vehicle covered 25,705 miles. This steady accumulation is typical of long-distance motorway use, which generally places significant mechanical stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. The lack of advisories during the 2022 to 2025 period suggests the vehicle remained structurally sound until the recent drop in standards. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. Given the reported edge wear on the front tyres, the inspector should check for incorrect alignment or worn shock absorbers that could be causing uneven tyre scrub. The high mileage also necessitates a look at the rubber bushings and control arm joints for cracking, as these often fail around 150,000 miles. Since the rear pads were flagged as thin, the discs should be inspected for scoring or excessive corrosion to ensure they do not require immediate replacement alongside the pads.
