2015 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · DA07 DAY

Recurring brake system fluctuations and tyre wear patterns represent the primary mechanical concerns for this Audi A6, as evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 12 December 2025. While the vehicle has maintained a continuous testing history without major failures, the brake advisories have become a persistent feature, appearing in 2020, 2024, and again in the latest 2025 inspection. The most recent record also introduces concerns regarding the rear tyres, specifically noting both rear tyres are slightly damaged or perishing and exhibiting uneven wear on the inner edges. The vehicle has covered 89,932 miles over its eleven-year lifespan, which equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 8,176 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical long-distance or mixed-use driving for a vehicle of this age and does not suggest extreme high-mileage wear or significant periods of stationary neglect. However, the mileage is sufficient to have necessitated several cycles of consumable replacement, and the recorded advisories regarding tyres and brake components align with this level of regular road use. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking performance during a test drive, specifically looking for any pulsation or judder through the brake pedal, which may correlate with the recorded offside front service brake fluctuations. The repeated mention of fluctuating brakes and worn rear discs suggests a potential issue with caliper operation or disc thickness. Additionally, the advisory regarding the rear tyres wearing on the inner edges is a specific indicator of potential suspension geometry issues. You should check for any unevenness in tyre tread depth and listen for knocks or knocks from the rear suspension when driving over undulations, which could indicate worn bushes or dampers contributing to the uneven tyre wear. Beyond the braking and tyre issues, the mechanical inspection should confirm that the recent advisories regarding tyre perishing have been addressed with fresh rubber. Given the history of uneven tyre wear, a thorough check of the steering and suspension linkages is advisable to ensure the vehicle tracks straight under braking and does not pull to one side. The absence of structural or emissions-related defects in the MOT history provides a baseline of roadworthiness, but the recurring nature of the brake and tyre advisories requires physical verification of the braking system's stability and the suspension's alignment.
