2009 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · DA59 OFW

The 2009 Audi A6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 September 2025 at 167,842 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 13 September 2024 at 161,953 miles confirms no outstanding advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern across the available five-year record. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 17-year-old car, averaging roughly 9,873 miles per year. The record moves from 149,777 miles on 2 October 2022 to 153,769 miles on 12 September 2023, then 161,953 miles on 13 September 2024, and 167,842 miles on 11 September 2025. Accumulation is steady with no abrupt jumps or long dormant gaps. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, showing only a failed test on 13 September 2024 with no defects logged, immediately followed by a pass the same day, which suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven failure. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car's age and 167,842 miles. The MOT history flags no corrosion or structural integrity issues, yet test centres vary in advisory strictness and the record carries no advisories at all. Verify the 13 September 2024 failure reason via the full DVSA certificate, as the supplied extract lists no defects. Check exhaust emissions and underbody for hidden rust before purchase, since a clean MOT does not certify components near wear limits.
