2010 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · FP60 DDA

The latest MOT test conducted on 24 February 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history back to 2021, the vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend, with a consistent string of clean passes and a total absence of recorded advisories or failures. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance and a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition, avoiding the common degradation often seen in luxury saloons of this age. The recorded mileage of 153,894 miles over approximately 16 years equates to an average annual usage of roughly 9,618 miles. This is considered typical for the vehicle's age and suggests a consistent pattern of use. Unlike low-mileage examples which can suffer from perished seals or binding calipers due to standing, this usage profile indicates that the engine, drivetrain, and chassis have been exercised regularly, which generally helps maintain the integrity of mechanical components and fluid circulation. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should focus on age-related wear that does not always trigger a test failure. At this mileage, suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts are likely reaching the end of their service life. During a test drive, listen for clunks or knocks when traversing uneven road surfaces and feel for any vagueness in the steering, which would indicate worn bushings. Inspect the brake discs for significant lip formation or scoring and ensure there is no shuddering under braking, as high-mileage vehicles often require a full refresh of the braking system to maintain optimal performance. Further inspection should prioritise calendar-based maintenance and fluid degradation. It is critical to verify the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are vital failure points for this age and mileage. Examine the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades over time regardless of remaining tread depth. Finally, check for oil seepage around the cylinder head and sump, and verify the health of the 12V battery, as the complex electrical systems in an Audi A6 can place significant strain on an ageing battery.
