2012 Audi A6 3.0L Diesel · FL12 OVU

The Audi A6 presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 1 February 2025 at 136,028 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three annual test cycles reviewed, showing no recurring advisories or escalating mechanical faults. The vehicle cleared the February 2025 examination without issue after a same-day failure logged at identical mileage with no defects cited, a pattern suggesting an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical defect. Annual mileage averages close to 9,700 miles against the car's 14-year life, a typical use profile for a 2012 executive saloon. The records show 112,653 miles at the February 2023 test, 120,471 miles at the January 2024 failure, and 120,784 miles when it passed four days later. By February 2025 the odometer read 136,028 miles. The 15,000-mile accumulation between early 2024 and early 2025 sits slightly above the yearly mean yet remains unremarkable. The DVSA data is sparse, listing clean passes and two zero-defect failures, which leaves little evidence of deferred consumable care. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 136,028-mile count. The history flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but test centres vary in advisory strictness and the records show none logged at all. Verify the February 2025 failure cause with the test station, as a no-defect reject often stems from documentation or lighting faults missed on first presentation. Prior owners kept the test record clean across three years with no welding, emissions, or drivetrain advisories raised. That implies reasonable basic upkeep, though the absence of any minor tyre or wiper notes across 23,000 miles warrants a close look at whether wear items were quietly changed outside the test bay or simply overlooked by lenient examiners.
