2017 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · KX66 ODN

The 2017 Audi A6 shows a stable and consistent MOT history, with no defects recorded across the last five tests, including the most recent one on 2026-01-15. This suggests the vehicle has passed all statutory inspections without major failings, though the absence of advisories or minor defects means some wear items may not have been formally noted. The clean pass record implies either disciplined maintenance or that issues have been addressed privately before testing. However, the lack of advisories in recent years could also indicate the tester did not identify non-fatal concerns, so further scrutiny of high-wear components is warranted. The recorded mileage of 137,984 miles over nine years—approximately 15,332 miles annually—is unusually high for a vehicle of this age, particularly given that Audi A6 models typically see lower annual mileage in the UK. The most rapid accumulation appears between 2022-01-05 (120,000 miles) and 2023-01-03 (128,000 miles), a jump of 8,000 miles in just over a year, which may suggest a period of intensive use or multiple short-term ownership changes. The gap between 2023-01-03 and 2023-12-13 (another 8,000 miles) further supports this pattern, though the final stretch to 137,984 miles by 2026-01-15 shows a slight reduction in pace. This irregular mileage suggests potential neglect of routine servicing, as high mileage accelerates wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components. Given the lack of MOT advisories, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension geometry, particularly the rear subframe and bushings, which are common failure points on this model at this mileage. The brakes, while not failed, may exhibit uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle was driven aggressively during periods of high mileage accumulation. Corrosion should be checked at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as salt exposure and age increase the risk of structural compromise. The exhaust system and emissions components should also be examined, as catalytic converter efficiency can degrade over time, particularly if the vehicle was driven under demanding conditions. Finally, the condition of the timing belt (if applicable) and auxiliary belts should be verified, as these are critical but often overlooked items at this mileage threshold.
