2011 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · DA11 ADE

The Audi A6 presents as roadworthy based on the latest DVSA test conducted on 13 September 2025 at 152,386 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. That examination sits ten months before the current date, giving reasonably recent assurance. Maintenance trend across the available records stays stable, showing no escalating mechanical concerns. The only anomaly appears on 21 September 2024, when the tester logged a failure at 147,957 miles yet issued a pass later that same day at 147,961 miles, both with no defects noted. Mileage accumulation since September 2022 reflects lighter-than-average use for a 2011 vehicle. The recorded distance moved from 142,233 miles at the 9 September 2022 test to 146,124 miles by 23 September 2023, then to 147,961 miles on 21 September 2024, and finally 152,386 miles at the 2025 test. Annual increments of roughly 3,900, 1,800, and 4,400 miles sit below the circa 10,159 miles per year lifetime average, indicating the car spent periods with limited running. The consistent yearly testing cadence leaves no gaps in the documented interval. Buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean advisory sheet. The MOT records flag no worn suspension bushes, fractured coil springs, binding calipers, corroded structural members, or elevated exhaust emissions across the five examinations. At 152,386 miles and fifteen years old, unseen degradation of rubber components, brake disc thickness, and underbody rust may exist outside the test scope. The unexplained same-day fail in September 2024 demands a check of the full DVSA certificate to confirm what fault prompted it. Previous owners appear to have kept the vehicle to a basic pass standard, as zero advisories suggest either meticulous upkeep or replacement of consumables ahead of tests. Verify service invoices for timing belt, transmission fluid, and suspension refresh. A short road test will reveal any stealth drivetrain noise or steering play not captured by the static examinations.
