2022 Audi A6 S LN BLK ED 40 Tfsi Mhev SA 2.0L Petrol · GY22 ULL

The most recent MOT on 2 June 2026 recorded a pass, with a single advisory concerning the near‑side front inner tyre being worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. The previous test a year earlier also passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle has not accumulated any progressive failures and that the maintenance record appears stable, with only a tyre‑wear issue emerging as the sole point of attention. At 76,806 miles the 2022 Audi A6 averages roughly 19,200 miles per annum, which is considerably above the UK average of around 10‑12 k miles per year. This higher utilisation accelerates wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and discs, suspension bushings and engine oil, and it also suggests that the power‑train and hybrid components have been subjected to a relatively heavy duty cycle. There are no obvious gaps in the MOT chronology, so the mileage figure is likely genuine rather than a result of prolonged storage, meaning that any latent wear should be examined rather than assumed to be mitigated by low‑use periods. The tyre advisory warrants immediate visual inspection of the front left tyre for tread depth, sidewall integrity and any signs of cupping or cracking. Verify the tyre’s DOT code to confirm its age; tyres older than six years can deteriorate even if tread remains adequate. While you are examining the wheels, compare the wear patterns on the remaining three tyres for asymmetry that might indicate mis‑aligned suspension or worn steering components. During a short test‑drive listen for a hollow or clunking noise when turning over bumps, which could point to deteriorating front suspension bushes, control arm joints or worn tie‑rod ends, and feel for any vibration that may arise from uneven tyre wear or a developing wheel‑balance issue. Given the car is now four years old, the 12‑volt battery should be checked for cranking voltage and electrolyte condition, as many batteries reach the end of their service life around this stage. Confirm that the manufacturer‑specified oil change, coolant flush and brake‑fluid replacement have been carried out, ideally at the 60‑k‑mile interval, because time‑based degradation can affect lubrication and corrosion protection even if mileage appears modest. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or excessive thickness variation, and verify pad thickness; a shudder or pulsation under braking would indicate the need for resurfacing or replacement. Finally, review the service book for evidence of regular scheduled maintenance and any recorded faults, and ensure that the exhaust system is free of leaks and that the hybrid battery cooling system shows no signs of coolant loss or blockages. These checks will give a prospective buyer a clear picture of the vehicle’s current roadworthiness and the near‑term maintenance that may be required.
