2016 Audi A6 4.0L Petrol · DS16 WCJ

The 2016 Audi A6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 October 2025 at 85,660 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,566 miles per year against the vehicle's ten-year age, a typical use profile. The records show steady accumulation: 64,962 miles in October 2021, 72,663 by October 2022, 80,921 in October 2023, 82,925 in October 2024, and 85,660 in October 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The five-year MOT trail is sparse in faults, with every entry listing a pass and no advisories raised on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A clean sheet across five consecutive tests implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current and the car avoided the common fail points of worn coil springs, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions breaches. That said, a buyer should still verify in person what the MOT does not capture. At 85,660 miles the dampers, anti-roll bar bushes, and brake disc thickness warrant a hands-on check, as these wear without always triggering an advisory. Structural integrity underneath should be inspected for early corrosion around sills and subframes, given the test only confirms absence of defects on the day. The lack of recorded faults is reassuring, but pre-purchase scrutiny of suspension geometry and tyre sidewall condition remains sound practice on a ten-year-old executive saloon.
