2021 Audi A6 S LN BLK ED45TFSI Mhev Q SA 2.0L Petrol · FX21 YWH

The vehicle achieved a Pass on its most recent DVSA MOT test conducted on 13 June 2025, with no defects, advisories, or failures recorded against the inspection. The prior test on 4 June 2024 likewise resulted in a clean Pass with no noted issues. With two consecutive annual examinations both returning a fully clean outcome, the documented maintenance and roadworthiness trend can be regarded as stable and reassuringly consistent. There is no evidence in the official record of any recurring mechanical concerns, advisory wear items, or progressive deterioration between tests, which suggests that any remedial work undertaken over this period has been effective and that the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard. With a recorded mileage of 43,169 miles against an approximate five-year age, this equates to an annualised usage of around 8,634 miles, which is broadly typical for a premium executive saloon such as the Audi A6. The mileage recorded between the two MOT tests represents reasonable year-on-year accumulation consistent with regular but not excessive driving, neither suggesting long periods of standing nor any rapid accumulation that would imply heavy motorway or commercial use. At this kind of average mileage, mechanical wear on major drivetrain and suspension components should still be within normal service expectations, and the absence of any advisories for excessive component wear supports this view. Given the clean MOT history, attention during a pre-purchase evaluation should turn towards age- and calendar-related deterioration rather than documented wear. Tyres should be carefully inspected for sidewall perishing and cracking, as rubber compounds degrade with age regardless of tread depth, and the 2021 build date means the originals could be approaching the end of their safe service life even with legal tread remaining. Brake discs, particularly on a vehicle that may have seen mixed urban and motorway use, should be checked for lipping, surface corrosion, and any signs of binding calipers, which can manifest as pulling to one side, uneven pad wear, or a brake pedal that feels high or unresponsive on initial application. The condition of the underbody and suspension components should also be examined for any corrosion, paying particular attention to the quattro drivetrain hardware and any MHEV-specific 48-volt electrical components, given the mild hybrid specification of this model. The 12-volt battery and, where applicable, the supplementary hybrid system battery should be tested for state of charge and cranking performance, as low mileage combined with predominantly short journeys can shorten battery life. Fluids including engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and the automatic transmission oil are subject to calendar-based degradation and should be checked for service history evidence irrespective of mileage; brake fluid in particular is hygroscopic and typically requires renewal every two years. Finally, it is prudent to verify that the digital service record and any associated book stamps correspond with the manufacturer schedule for the 45 TFSI engine, and to confirm that the timing chain, turbocharger, and MHEV ancillary drive systems have been inspected within the recommended intervals, as these are recognised areas requiring periodic attention on this powertrain regardless of MOT outcome.
