2008 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · FT08 HBC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the history indicates a pattern of immediate re-tests following failures. The most recent test in April 2022 resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, suggesting the vehicle met all minimum safety standards at that time. However, the recurring occurrence of failing exactly one day before passing in both 2021 and 2022 suggests the owner likely only addressed mechanical issues when specifically prompted by the MOT tester rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage patterns for an older executive saloon, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between March 2020 at 104,643 miles and March 2021 at 111,963 miles, the car covered roughly 7,300 miles, followed by approximately 15,000 miles in the year leading up to the April 2022 test. This slight spike in usage during the final recorded period is not concerning, but the overall mileage remains low for an Audi A6, which often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals regardless of the distance driven. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking components which frequently fail on this chassis. While the record shows no specific advisories in the final two tests, it is vital to check for worn control arm bushes, perished coil springs, and leaking calipers that the tester missed. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the subframes and exhaust mounting points is also necessary, as the last record is now over four years old. The lack of recent MOT data since 2022 means the current state of these safety-critical items is entirely unknown.
