2015 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · HF65 JGY

A recent period of clean MOT results suggests a stable roadworthiness profile, following a history that included specific mechanical concerns. The vehicle passed its most recent inspection on 27 August 2026 with no defects recorded, continuing a trend of clean certificates established in both 2025 and 2026. This follows a notable failure in September 2023, where the engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp was found to be inoperative or indicating a malfunction, a major defect that required rectification to meet safety standards. The vehicle has covered 118,747 miles over its eleven-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 10,795 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical long-distance or mixed-use driving for a vehicle of this age and class. From a mechanical perspective, this mileage level suggests that while the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-frequency use, components such as the suspension bushings, braking system, and drivetrain seals will have undergone standard wear cycles consistent with over one hundred thousand miles of operation. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems, as the historical record shows previous advisories for wear in these areas. Specifically, the 2020 MOT recorded advisories for worn pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms, alongside thinning rear brake pads. During a test drive, it is essential to listen for any dull knocks or clunks when navigating uneven road surfaces or speed bumps, which could indicate that the suspension arm bushes have degraded again. Additionally, the driver should check for any pulling to one side during braking or any unusual vibrations through the brake pedal, which may signal uneven pad or disc wear. While the most recent tests show no current defects, the previous advisories regarding rear brake pad thickness and front suspension bushings warrant a physical inspection of the underbody. A thorough check of the front suspension linkages and the remaining thickness of the rear brake pads is advised to ensure that the issues flagged in earlier years have been addressed or have not recurred. Ensuring the engine management system remains fault-free is also vital, given the previous failure regarding the Malfunction Indicator Lamp.
