2007 Audi A6 2.7L Diesel · FG07 AEO

This 2007 Audi A6 has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over its most recent MOT cycles, with no defects or advisories recorded in the past three annual tests. The most recent inspection on 30 May 2025, at 173,335 miles, confirmed full compliance across all tested systems, including brakes, emissions, and structural integrity. While the absence of failings suggests the vehicle has not undergone significant mechanical neglect, the last test occurred just over two months ago—well within the DVSA’s 12-month validity window. This recent passing does not indicate any immediate cause for concern, though the long-term pattern of zero advisories implies the vehicle has likely been serviced or repaired proactively between tests. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 12,000 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged gaps in the record; the most notable interval is between the February 2022 (148,574 miles) and July 2022 (149,759 miles) tests, covering just 1,185 miles in five months. This suggests either light seasonal use or a period of storage. The consistency in mileage accumulation does not inherently signal excessive wear, but it does not rule out deferred maintenance on components like suspension bushes or coil springs, which often fail without prior warning. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension geometry, particularly the rear subframe and bushings, as these are common failure points on this model at this mileage. The brakes, though never failed, should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced heavy loads or frequent high-speed driving. Corrosion in the wheel arches, sills, or underbody should also be examined, as the Audi A6 is prone to rust progression in these areas over 19 years. Finally, the exhaust system and catalytic converter should be checked for leaks or damage, as emissions-related faults are often the first to appear in older vehicles with extended use. No advisories in the MOT history does not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
