2008 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · FY08 XPB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 at 144,282 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a minor failure on that same date due to a nearside front tyre with tread depth below the legal limit. Once this consumable was rectified, the vehicle passed with no recorded defects, suggesting that the current owner is responsive to immediate safety-related failures required to maintain the annual testing standard. At 144,282 miles, this 18-year-old Audi has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for an executive saloon. The record shows consistent intervals, with roughly 16,000 miles covered between November 2024 and December 2025, and another 11,000 miles in the year preceding 2024. This regularity suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and braking system given the history of faults in these areas. The November 2022 test flagged a worn offside front upper suspension arm bush and pitted front brake discs, while the 2023 test identified corrosion on all four coil springs. While these issues may have been addressed, the recurring nature of suspension-related failures indicates that components are reaching the end of their service life. An in inspection should check for further play in the control arms or signs of developing rust on the springs to ensure the structural integrity of the chassis remains sound.
