2018 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · JD08 SEF

The Audi A6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 January 2026 at 72,391 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also logged a failed attempt with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in 2025, 2024, and 2023 all passed cleanly with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has avoided recurring wear-related failures across its eight-year life. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,049 miles per year against the 72,391 miles recorded, which is typical for a 2018 executive saloon. The records show steady accumulation: 44,597 miles in January 2023, 53,788 in January 2024, 64,417 in February 2025, and 72,391 by January 2026. No rapid jumps or unexplained gaps appear, and the clean sheet across every test means consumable items such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes were either within tolerance or renewed before each examination. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm absence of early-stage rust on sills or subframes. The brake calipers, coil springs, and exhaust emissions system warrant a hands-on check despite no tester flags, given the car is now eight years old and past the manufacturer warranty period. The duplicate January 2026 entries with one fail and one pass at identical mileage deserve clarification from the selling garage to rule out a data anomaly. Otherwise the DVSA history implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, with no evidence of skipped servicing or deferred mechanical repairs.
