2015 Audi A6 4.0L Petrol · DG65 OES

A largely trouble‑free MOT record, punctuated only by routine wear advisories, underpins the car’s current roadworthiness. The most recent test on 14 February 2026 was a clean pass, and the seven previous examinations show a consistent pattern of passing without defects, with the only items noted being thin front inner brake pads and a rear tyre approaching the legal wear limit in the 2022 test, plus a minor central front lower windscreen chip recorded in 2020. With 69,270 mi logged over roughly eleven years the average annual mileage sits at about 6,300 mi, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT schedule has been adhered to on an almost yearly basis, revealing no prolonged gaps that might conceal hidden deterioration. This moderate mileage suggests that major drivetrain components, such as the engine, transmission and differential, have not been subjected to excessive stress, but it also means that wear items like brake pads, tyres and suspension bushings will be approaching the latter stages of their service lives. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the front inner brake pads, flagged as thin in the 2022 MOT. On a test drive feel for any increase in pedal travel, pulsation or squealing at low speeds, and inspect the pads for a remaining thickness of less than 2 mm, which would warrant replacement. The off‑side rear tyre was reported close to the legal limit, so a visual inspection for tread depth, edge wear and any sidewall cracks is essential; a tyre with less than 1.6 mm tread should be swapped promptly. The central front lower windscreen chip, while not affecting visibility at the time of inspection, should be examined for any progression or water ingress that could compromise structural integrity or cause future leaks. Beyond the items explicitly noted, a comprehensive pre‑purchase check should verify the condition of the brake discs for scoring, the integrity of the suspension bushes and coil springs for any knocking over bumps, and the steering column for pull or vibration. Listening for any unusual noises, feeling for judder under braking and ensuring the vehicle tracks straight will help confirm that the underlying systems have remained sound despite the modest wear signals recorded in the MOT history.
