2002 Audi A6 2.5L Diesel · H1 KOL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean pass in its most recent MOT on 15 January 2026 at 98,866 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory as the car moved from recurring failures in 2024 and 2025 to a result with no recorded defects in the latest inspection. This shift suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing identified mechanical issues to ensure the vehicle meets minimum safety standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a 24-year-old Audi, averaging approximately 4,119 miles per year. Data shows a consistent but limited usage pattern, with 5,000 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 4,918 miles recorded between January 2025 and January 2026. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as seals and suspension brake lines. A buyer should investigate the specific reasons for the failures recorded in January 2024 and early January 2025, as the provided summary does not list the exact mechanical faults. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, a physical inspection focusing on structural corrosion on the subframe and mounting points is essential, as stationary vehicles often suffer from surface rust that progresses over time. Additionally, check for perished suspension bushes and seized brake calipers which frequently occur when a car is driven for short periods between uses.
