2013 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · KT13 UML

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved clean pass in the August 2025 test at 90,526 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of reactive repairs in late 2024. While the 2024 failure revealed multiple mechanical and lighting defects, the absence of any advisories in the most recent inspection indicates that the owner addressed the flagged faults and maintained a higher standard recently. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old luxury saloon, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the car covered 7,373 miles, followed by another 8,577 miles in the eleven-month period leading to the August 2025 test. This steady usage suggests regular motor road use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and engine seals, though the low annual mileage typically implies a slower rate of drivetrain wear. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the September 2024 failure highlighted an excessively worn nearside lower suspension arm ball joint. Although this was repaired, the Audi A6 platform often suffers from bushing degradation in control arms at this age. The 2023 advisory regarding fluctuating nearside rear brakes and thin pads suggests a need to check the current discs for thinning or heat spotting, ensuring the previous maintenance actually resolved these recurring issues. Given the history of uneven tyre wear and low tread depth in 2024, verify the current set of tyres for even wear and signs of alignment issues. The previous failure of the rear fog lamp is now resolved, but a functional check of all lighting circuits remains necessary. The record shows no structural corrosion issues, suggesting the chassis integrity of the vehicle remains sound despite its age.
