Our Verdict
A strong contender for buyers seeking a
Focus your negotiation on the immediate maintenance requirements highlighted in the March 2026 MOT. The vehicle requires new front tyres and the rear shock absorbers are misting oil, which typically precedes a failure. Ensure you verify the service history for the 3.0L engine, specifically looking for evidence of regular oil changes to maintain the turbocharger and engine internals.
Given the age and mileage, check for any evidence of previous suspension work. While the MOT record is clean of failures, the transition from 'no defects' in 2024 to multiple advisories in 2026 suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where several wear-and-tear components will require simultaneous replacement.
The 2967cc diesel engine provides significant power but carries higher running costs than smaller A6 variants. Expect higher annual road tax and a higher insurance group due to the engine size and vehicle value. Fuel economy is generally efficient for long-distance cruising, but urban driving will see a marked increase in consumption.
Maintenance for this model can be expensive, particularly for parts like shock absorbers and tyres, which are wider and more costly than on standard saloons. The estimated annual cost covers fuel, tax, insurance, and the anticipated cost of replacing the items flagged in the recent MOT.
Prioritise a physical inspection of the rear shock absorbers to assess the severity of the oil misting noted in the March 2026 MOT. Check the tread depth and wear patterns of the front tyres, as these were flagged as being close to the legal limit.
Referencing the model's aggregate data, specifically inspect the headlamps for condensation or failure and check the suspension arms for any perishing rubber or play. These are common failure points for the A6 and, combined with the existing shock absorber advisories, could indicate a need for a comprehensive suspension overhaul.
This black 2015 Audi A6 3.0L Diesel has covered 105,593 miles, which is closely aligned with the model's average annual mileage. It has successfully passed its last five MOT tests without a single failure. However, the most recent records from 2025 and 2026 indicate a pattern of tyre wear and emerging issues with the rear shock absorbers.
The Audi A6 maintains a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 85.2%, with the most frequent issues occurring in the headlamps and suspension arms.
