Our Verdict
A well-maintained 2018 Audi A6 with a mostly clean MOT history, though tyre wear in 2025 warrants closer inspection. Good value for a premium saloon with low mileage for its age.
Prioritise checking the condition of the front and rear tyres mentioned in the 2025 MOT, ensuring they’ve been replaced or addressed. Verify service history for regular maintenance, particularly brake and suspension components common to Audi A6s. Negotiate slightly given the minor tyre issues, but the overall clean record offsets this. Be wary of any unexplained service gaps or non-OEM parts.
As a 3.993cc petrol engine, this A6 will have higher fuel costs than smaller models, with estimated combined economy around 25-30 mpg. Road tax is £140 annually (petrol cars registered after 2017). Insurance groups for Audi A6s typically range from 20-30, making premiums average for a premium saloon. Routine maintenance (e.g., oil changes, brake checks) should cost £100-150 every 10,000 miles, with potential for higher costs on complex systems like the quattro all-wheel drive.
Focus on the tyres and suspension components flagged in the 2025 MOT. Check for uneven tyre wear patterns or damaged suspension bushes. Inspect the engine bay for leaks, particularly around the timing chain cover (a known issue in older Audis). Verify the condition of the leather upholstery and electronics, as these can degrade over time. Ensure the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system function correctly.
This 2018 Audi A6 has accumulated 31,021 miles, with MOT records showing no major defects since 2023. Minor tyre wear was noted in 2025, but no safety-critical issues. The vehicle’s low mileage and clean recent MOTs suggest careful ownership, though the lack of aggregate model data limits broader reliability insights.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Audi A6, but general owner reports suggest reliable performance with proper maintenance. Known issues include timing chain tensioner problems in 3.0-litre TDI models, though this petrol variant may have different concerns.
