2013 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · KV13 AEU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history, though recent entries indicate a shift towards mechanical wear. The most recent test on 21 March 2023 at 134,871 miles identified a nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint with slight play and a non-excessive oil leak. While the vehicle passed, these findings suggest the onset of component degradation typical for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,000 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 24,114 miles in November 2015 to the current recorded 134,871 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing or periods of prolonged inactivity evident in the records, which implies regular use rather than long periods of standing. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The record shows a recurring pattern of wear in these areas, with brake pads flagged as thin in both November 2015 and March 2022. The tester also noted an offside front anti-roll bar linkage issue in March 2020. Given the recent ball joint advisory, a thorough check of all suspension bushes, ball joints, and links is necessary to ensure no further play has developed. The oil leak noted in the 2023 test requires close monitoring. While the tester classified it as not excessive, the buyer should inspect the engine bay and undercarriage for signs of seepage that could indicate a worsening seal or gasket failure. Checking the condition of the undertrays, which were confirmed as fitted in 2023, is also advisable to ensure they are protecting the engine components from road debris and moisture.
