2005 Audi A6 1.9L Diesel · FN05 VDD

The Audi A6 passed its most recent MOT on 2 February 2023 at 181,123 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable with no escalating mechanical concerns. The record shows repeated one-day failures immediately preceding passes in 2022 and 2023, yet the DVSA entries list no defects on any of those tests. This pattern points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than worsening vehicle condition. Mileage sits at 181,123 against a 2005 build, averaging roughly 8,625 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The gap between the 28 January 2022 test at 176,443 miles and the 2 February 2023 test at 181,123 miles shows only 4,680 miles added in just over twelve months. The car has now stood untaxed and untested for over three years relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, meaning the current mechanical state is unverified by any recent official check. The back-to-back failures on 15, 21 and 28 January 2022 at 176,316, 176,439 and 176,443 miles, followed by the 1 February 2023 failure at 181,121 miles, suggest the previous owner relied on same-week retests to secure a pass. With no advisories logged, the history gives no warning on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear or structural corrosion. A buyer must commission an independent inspection of underside rust, brake caliper operation and exhaust integrity before any purchase. Given the three-year lapse since the last test, the roadworthiness verdict is expired rather than failed. The clean defect list implies reasonable care in the recorded period, but standing time invites seized brake components and tyre perishing. Treat the 2023 pass as historical only.
