2017 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · DN14 COL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of deferred tyre replacement. While it passed the most recent test in November 2025 at 83,814 miles, the inspector noted an offside rear tyre worn to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This follows a pattern of similar advisories across previous years, suggesting that tyres are only replaced once they reach the minimum threshold. The mileage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of distance between tests, moving from 41,062 miles in September 2021 to 83,814 miles by late 2025. The lack of significant gaps in the annual or bianual testing schedule indicates regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which is generally beneficial for the condition of rubber components and braking systems. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and artwork alignment, as the "worn on edge" faults have appeared in four out of the last five tests. Recurring uneven wear often indicates poor suspension geometry, worn bushes, or faulty artwork dampers that require professional rectification. Additionally, the history of physical tyre damage, including a nail in 2021 and impact in 2023, necessitates a close check for structural sidewall integrity on the current set of tyres.
