Our Verdict
A viable executive diesel that shows exp
Given the 2023 MOT failure, you should verify that the worn suspension arm pins and bushes were replaced rather than just patched. This is a known weak point for the A6, as highlighted in the model's aggregate failure data. Ensure you check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, which are critical for this engine at this mileage.
Negotiate based on the high mileage and the potential for future suspension wear. Specifically, ask for documentation regarding the 'brake judder' noted in 2023 to confirm if the brake discs were replaced or merely skimmed.
Owning a 3.0L diesel A6 involves higher running costs than smaller variants. Fuel economy will be lower in urban environments, and the engine size places it in a higher tax bracket. Insurance groups for this model are typically high, reflecting its executive status and engine capacity.
Maintenance costs are likely to increase as the vehicle exceeds 140,000 miles. Expect higher spending on wear-and-tear items such as tyres and suspension components, which are common failure points for this model.
Focus your inspection on the front suspension. The MOT history records a failure at 126,361 miles for both offside and nearside front suspension arm bushes, and a 2024 advisory for an oil-misting offside front shock absorber. Check for any current leaks or knocking sounds when turning the wheel.
Perform a thorough brake test to ensure the 'brake judder' mentioned in the 2023 record has been fully resolved. Additionally, inspect the headlamps for clarity and function, as these are among the top failure reasons for the A6 across the wider fleet data.
This grey 2013 Audi A6 features a 2967cc diesel engine and has recorded 146,711 miles. The MOT history shows a failure in July 2023 related to suspension arm wear and brake judder, though the most recent test in September 2025 was passed without any defects. Its mileage is higher than the model average, but the testing record is relatively consistent.
The Audi A6 has an average MOT pass rate of 85.2%, with suspension arms and headlamps being the most frequent causes of failure.
