2007 Audi A6 2.0L Petrol · HD07 ASU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. In the most recent test on October 2025 at 89,718 miles, the car failed just three days prior due to a faulty washer pump, incorrect headlamp aim, and a sticking rear seat belt. While these issues were rectified for the re-pass, the recurring nature of faults across multiple years suggests that the owner only addresses defects when they directly result in a legal MOT failure. At 89,718 miles, this 19-year-old Audi has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with only 842 miles recorded between the October 2024 and 2025 tests. However, low mileage on a vehicle of this age often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components due to time, which is evidenced in the record by deteriorated rear brake hoses noted in 2023 and corrosion on the upper suspension arms flagged in 2024. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the engine bay and underbody. The 2024 record confirms a non-excessive oil leak that has persisted for at least two years, which requires monitoring for signs of a worsening seal failure. The corrosion on the nearside and offside rear upper suspension arms needs close scrutiny to ensure it has not progressed into structural weakness since the last advisory. Additionally, the previously reported supplementary restraint system warning lamp fault from 2024 must be verified to ensure the airbag and pretensioner systems are functional, as this is a critical safety concern.
