2005 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · IS02 RBM

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status following a successful pass in November 2022 at 150,665 miles. However, the immediate history reveals a period of instability in July 2022 where the car failed two consecutive tests within a span of six days. While the final result was clean, the lack of recorded defect data for those failures suggests the issues were either minor or rectified immediately before the passing inspection. The recorded mileage of 150,665 miles over 21 years represents an average usage of approximately 7,175 miles per annum. This aligns with typical UK usage patterns for an executive saloon of this age. The data shows a significant cluster of activity in mid-2022, with only 34 miles recorded between the first failure and the final pass. There is a notable gap of nearly three years since the last recorded MOT test in November 2022, indicating the vehicle may have sat stationary for an extended period, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and lower suspension components, as A6 models from this era are prone to structural corrosion and perished control arm bushes. Given the long interval since the last 2022 test, the braking system should be checked for seized calipers or heavily pitted discs caused by inactivity. Inspect the tyres for signs of dry rot or flat spotting, as the low annual mileage often masks age-related material failure that an MOT record cannot fully capture.
