2002 Audi A6 4.2L Petrol · CF52 GZH

This Audi A6 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories recorded across the most recent three tests, including the February 2025 pass just six months ago. The absence of any recurring issues or advisories suggests the vehicle has either been well-maintained or has avoided significant wear in critical areas. However, the gap between tests—particularly the 18-month interval between June 2022 and October 2023—is unusually long for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the car passed without fail, such a prolonged period without inspection raises questions about whether intermediate checks were performed, especially for components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake binding that often degrade incrementally. The recorded mileage of 172,624 miles over 24 years averages approximately 7,200 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this generation. There are no obvious spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity in the available data, though the sparse MOT history limits deeper mileage trend analysis. The lack of advisories or defects in prior tests does not guarantee current condition, as some failures—such as corrosion in wheel arches or binding calipers—may not always appear until later stages. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes, including disc thickness and caliper binding, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been exposed to moisture. Structural integrity, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, warrants scrutiny for hidden corrosion, as this is a common failure point in older Audi models. The absence of advisories does not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
