2016 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · KX16 AEK

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT passed on 8 September 2025 at 147,677 miles without any recorded defects. This follows a clean pass in June 2024 at 138,853 miles, suggesting that recent maintenance has addressed previous mechanical shortcomings. The trend has shifted from a period of frequent failures related to consumable wear to a more consistent pattern of compliance over the last two years. The mileage accumulation indicates heavy, consistent usage, averaging approximately 14,768 miles per year since 2016. The record shows steady progression, such as the 13,277-mile increase between the July 2022 and July 2023 tests. This high annual mileage suggests the vehicle has likely been used for regular long-distance driving rather than sitting idle, which often helps prevent certain types of corrosion but increases the wear rate on drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus on the braking system and tyre wear patterns during a physical inspection. The July 2023 failure at 134,456 miles highlighted significant wear across front pads, front discs, rear discs, and offside rear pads. While the 2025 test shows no current issues, the history of pitted discs and worn pads suggests the braking components undergo heavy use. The recurring advisories and failures regarding tyres, specifically the exposed cords noted in July 2022 and the inner edge wear in July 2023, point to potential alignment issues or suspension bush deterioration. The July 2022 failure also flagged a slightly loose nearside rear fuel tank. Although this was resolved, it is worth verifying the security of fuel system mounting points and checking for any signs of exhaust or fuel leaks. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension geometry and the condition of the shock absorbers is advisable to ensure the tyre wear issues seen in previous years have been permanently rectified.
