2011 Audi A6 2.0L Petrol · GP11 FUB

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed the most recent test on 1 June 2026 at 157,245 miles, this followed a failure just one mile prior. That failure highlighted significant mechanical issues including an electronic parking brake malfunction and a structural failure in the offside rear tyre. The recurring failures suggest that the owner only addresses faults when forced to by a testing failure, rather than replacing worn components during service intervals. At 157,245 miles over 15 years, the Audi A6 has averaged approximately 10,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for its age. The record shows consistent movement, with roughly 1,800 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 1,389 miles between June 2025 and June 2026. This steady mileage indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which places consistent strain on aging suspension and braking components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the parking brake system and the electronic controls. The history shows the parking brake failed in 2024 for low efficiency and failed again in 2026 with an electronic malfunction and an inoperative side, suggesting a potentially expensive actuator or cable issue. Furthermore, the 2025 test flagged worn bushes on all four front upper suspension arms. Given the age and mileage of the vehicle, these bushes should be checked for excessive play which would affect handling and cause uneven wear. Tyre management also shows a clear pattern of neglect. Front inner tyres were flagged as worn to the legal limit or on the edges in 2024, 2025, and 2026. This indicates a persistent alignment issue or a failure to monitor tread depth. The structural failure of the offside rear tyre in 2026 suggests that the rubber may be perishing or aged, necessitating a full check of the remaining set of tyres before purchase.
