2016 Audi A6 S Line TDI Quattro S-A 2.0L Diesel · DH65 DWY

The 2016 Audi A6 S Line TDI Quattro S-A presents a clean and stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT, conducted on 31st December 2025 at 126,164 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This outcome, combined with the four preceding consecutive clean certificates, indicates a resolving or consistently stable condition with no recurring mechanical or structural faults flagged by DVSA testers over the entire documented history. The vehicle has accumulated 126,164 miles over roughly ten years, averaging approximately 12,616 miles per year, which is high for its age. The mileage progression reveals a notable gap in the MOT record between 28th February 2020 at 46,444 miles and 13th September 2022 at 87,358 miles, representing an addition of 40,914 miles in roughly two and a half years. This suggests a period of intensive use or long-distance commuting. Following this, the mileage accumulation slowed, with only 8,210 miles added between September 2022 and October 2023, and a further 15,781 miles by December 2024, before reaching 126,164 miles by the end of 2025. Despite the clean MOT record, the high mileage and intensive use pattern warrant a thorough physical inspection. A buyer should examine the condition of the drivetrain components, including the dual-clutch S-Tronic automatic transmission and Quattro four-wheel-drive system, for any signs of hesitation, fluid leaks, or uneven wear. The suspension system, particularly the front lower arm bushes, anti-roll bar links, and rear trailing arm bushes, should be checked for play or deterioration, as these components endure significant stress under high-mileage conditions. The braking system, including the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pads, and the operation of the rear calipers for any tendency to bind, requires close scrutiny. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a detailed underbody inspection is advisable to assess the structural integrity of the subframes, suspension mounting points, and exhaust system for corrosion or cracking. The tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners, including the spare if present, should also be verified, as uneven wear may indicate underlying alignment or suspension geometry issues.
