2016 Audi A6 3.0L Diesel · EN16 AEM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by a clean pass on 7 February 2026 at 79,239 miles. This most recent test recorded no defects or advisories, suggesting the car is in good mechanical order. Previous years show a pattern of minor consumable wear rather than systemic mechanical failure or structural decay. The mileage is typical for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,924 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between February 2025 and February 2026, where the odometer rose from 67,627 to 79,239 miles. This indicates a shift toward higher annual mileage in the last twelve months, though the vehicle has remained consistent in its testing schedule. A recurring issue with tyre wear is evident throughout the history. The tester flagged the nearside rear tyre as worn or worn on the edge in four separate tests between July 2019 and February 2023. The vehicle failed on 16 February 2021 due to multiple tyres falling below the 1.6mm legal limit and sidewall damage to the nearside front. This persistent neglect of tyre tread and edge wear suggests a historical lack of attention to basic upkeep or potential alignment issues. A buyer should verify the current condition of the suspension and tyres. While the February 2025 test flagged a severely deteriorated offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover, the latest clean pass suggests this was rectified. Given the history of uneven tyre wear, a physical inspection of the current tread depth and a check for camber or tracking misalignment is recommended to ensure the chassis is not causing premature tyre degradation.
