Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This Audi A6 presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 21 June 2025 at 103,478 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has benefited from proactive servicing. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,391 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between September 2022 and April 2024, where the odometer rose from 79,415 to 92,990 miles. A further 10,488 miles were covered in the fourteen months leading up to the June 2025 test. These fluctuations are normal for private use and do not indicate any irregular wear patterns. The absence of advisories over the last five years is unusual for a car of this age. The record shows no mentions of suspension bush degradation, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks, which are common failure points for this model. Even the April 2024 entry, which shows a failure and pass on the same day, lists no specific defects, implying a clerical error or a very minor rectification. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion, as MOT testers often overlook surface rust that does not yet compromise integrity. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads personally, as these consumables may be nearing the end of their life despite the clean MOT history. Verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these critical maintenance items are not captured in a standard MOT record.
