2007 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · GF07 TZL

The vehicle shows a pattern of reactive maintenance where faults are often addressed only following an MOT failure. In the most recent test on July 2026 at 120,132 miles, the Audi finally passed only after failing a week prior. The failure revealed critically worn rear brake discs and pads below the 1.5mm threshold, alongside a non-functional indicator. While the front-related issues were deemed acceptable, the persistent presence of a front oil leak and disc pitting suggests ongoing wear that requires close monitoring to prevent future failures. The mileage profile averages to approximately 6,300 miles per year, which is consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle. However, the record indicates recurring neglect regarding consumables and lighting. Between 2021 and 2025, the vehicle was repeatedly advised for tyres worn to the legal limit or uneven wear, suggesting the previous owner delayed tyre replacements until they became mandatory. The presence of oil misting on shock absorbers back in 2018 and 2022 indicates that the suspension components are reaching the end of their effective service life. Structural integrity appears stable based on the available data, but the nearside front upper suspension arm bush noted in 2019 is a known point for rubber-related degradation. A buyer should verify the current state of the rear brake system and ensure the front oil leak has not worsened since the July 2 inspection. The history of failing on simple bulbs and wipers indicates that the vehicle is maintained to a minimum legal standard rather than through a preventative service schedule.
