2017 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · GL67 WVG

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a trajectory of improving mechanical health culminating in a clean pass on 2 February 2026. While earlier tests highlighted minor issues with tyres and glazing, the absence of any defects or advisories in the two most recent inspections suggests that previous wear-and-tear items have been addressed. The recorded mileage of 81,827 miles is typical for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,092 miles per year. This steady accumulation indicates a consistent usage pattern without prolonged periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty use. Mechanically, this suggests a predictable rate of wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, avoiding the specific risks associated with either extreme high-mileage fatigue or the degradation common in low-use vehicles. Attention should be paid to the rear suspension, specifically the nearside rear shock absorber which was flagged for oil misting in early 2024. Although the subsequent tests were clean, a test drive should focus on the rear axle's stability. Listen for knocks or thumps when traversing uneven road surfaces and observe the vehicle for excessive bouncing after hitting a bump, which would indicate the shock absorber has progressed from misting to a full failure. The windscreen has a history of stone chips and damage recorded between 2023 and 2024. A close physical inspection of the glass is necessary to ensure any previous repairs are structurally sound and that no new cracks have developed that could impair visibility or fail a future inspection. Additionally, given the previous advisories regarding tyre edge wear and cuts, a thorough check of the current tread depth and sidewall integrity across all four tyres is recommended to ensure they meet safety standards.
