Our Verdict
This Audi A6 presents a consistent MOT record with five consecutive passes since 2022. It is a strong candidate for a buyer seeking a high-mileage executive saloon, provided the current condition aligns with its recent test history.
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a thorough inspection of the service history, specifically looking for evidence of timing belt changes and gearbox fluid maintenance, which are critical for the 2.0-litre diesel engine at this mileage. Check that all electrical systems, including the MMI infotainment screen and climate control, are fully functional, as these can be costly to repair if they fail.
Negotiate based on the high mileage, as the vehicle has covered over 120,000 miles in eight years. Ensure the car drives smoothly without hesitation from the automatic transmission and that there are no unusual noises from the suspension, which is a known area of wear for the A6 model.
As a 2.0-litre diesel, this A6 is designed for efficiency on long motorway journeys, though urban fuel consumption will be higher. You should factor in higher-than-average maintenance costs for an executive vehicle of this age, particularly for premium tyres and potential suspension component replacements.
Annual costs will include standard VED (Road Tax) rates for a 2018 diesel, insurance premiums for a high-value executive car, and the ongoing cost of servicing. Expect annual running costs to be in the region of £2,200 to £2,800, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
While the MOT history shows no defects, you should manually inspect the tyres for uneven wear, which is a common failure point for this model. Check the tread depth and ensure all four tyres are of a reputable brand, as this is vital for the handling of a heavy saloon.
Inspect the suspension arms and bushes for any signs of play or degradation, as these are common failure points in the wider Audi A6 population. Additionally, test the headlamps and all lighting units to ensure they are clear and functioning correctly, as lamp-related issues are frequent MOT failure points for this vehicle segment.
This 2018 grey Audi A6 has covered 123,631 miles, which is significantly higher than the national average for its age. The MOT history is notable for five consecutive passes with no defects recorded, suggesting a stable mechanical state during the testing periods. While the high mileage reflects extensive use, the lack of recorded advisories or failures is a positive indicator for potential buyers.
The Audi A6 generally performs well in MOT testing, though it is susceptible to typical executive car wear, such as suspension and tyre-related issues.
