2016 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · KU66 APV

The Audi A6 presents a clean MOT history over the past three years, with the most recent test on 16 September 2025 at 114,155 miles showing no defects—a strong indicator of stable roadworthiness. The absence of advisories or failures in the latest three annual tests suggests the vehicle has been well maintained in critical areas, including brakes, suspension, and structural integrity. That said, the duplicate entry for 21 September 2023 at 86,306 miles —one pass, one fail—is unusual and may imply a clerical error or a brief oversight, though no technical issues were recorded either way. The consistent passing since then, including the 2024 and 2025 tests, reinforces that major mechanical or safety concerns have not emerged under normal driving conditions. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical expectations for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging around 11,416 miles per year , which is neither excessively high nor unusually low. The gap between the 2022 test (73,429 miles) and the 2023 entries (86,306 miles) suggests the car covered roughly 12,877 miles in under a year , a pace that would stress components like tyres, brakes, and suspension if not properly maintained. However, since no defects were recorded in that period, it appears any additional wear was managed effectively. The lack of rapid mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity further supports the idea that the vehicle has seen consistent, moderate use rather than neglect or heavy-duty service. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should still prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components, particularly the brake system , including calipers, pads, and discs, given their critical role in safety. The suspension —specifically coil springs, bushes, and ball joints—should be checked for wear, as these are common failure points in Audi models of this age, even if not flagged in tests. Exhaust emissions and corrosion in high-stress areas (sills, wheel arches, and underseal) are worth examining, as these can degrade over time without immediate MOT impact. While the MOT history is reassuring, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic would be prudent to confirm no latent issues exist beyond what the test captures.
