2012 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · FD12 VSL

The 2012 Audi A6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 23 October 2025 at 91,400 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five consecutive annual tests from 18 October 2021 through to that 2025 examination, the vehicle cleared every inspection without a single advisory or failure. This unbroken clean record indicates consistent upkeep and no escalating mechanical concerns over the four-year window. Annual mileage sits at a modest level for a 14-year-old car. The records show 79,120 miles in October 2021, rising to 82,113 by October 2022, 84,877 by October 2023, 88,507 by October 2024, and 91,400 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 3,000 miles per year across the logged period, well below the 6,529-mile average implied by the lifetime figure and pointing to light use by prior keepers. No gaps appear between tests; the owner adhered to yearly scheduling without lapse. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. The absence of flagged items such as worn suspension bushes, corroded subframes, or cracking brake discs means no recurring fault pattern exists to track, yet components unseen by the tester may still degrade with age. At 91,400 miles the original coil springs, calipers, and exhaust system warrant hands-on checks for fatigue or hidden rust. Given the sparse but spotless history, the prudent step is a pre-purchase examination of structural integrity underneath the sills and arches, plus measurement of actual brake disc thickness and tyre condition. The record implies disciplined ownership, but no test substitutes for verifying consumables and drivetrain health on a car now over a decade old.
