Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for immediate repairs. While the vehicle has a consistent MOT record, there are recurring issues with the exhaust and suspension that require attention.
When viewing this vehicle, your primary focus should be on the exhaust and suspension. The MOT history shows a persistent 'minor leak of exhaust gases' noted in October 2024 and again in October 2025. You should negotiate a reduction in price to cover the cost of a professional exhaust repair or replacement.
Additionally, check the condition of the suspension bushes and ball joints. The 2024 MOT highlighted worn inner suspension arm bushes and a ball joint with play. Ensure these have been addressed, as they can affect handling and safety. Finally, verify that the recent 'dangerous' tyre failure noted in October 2025 has been fully rectified with a high-quality replacement.
As a 2.0L petrol executive saloon, running costs will be higher than a standard hatchback. You should expect moderate fuel consumption suitable for motorway cruising, but higher costs in stop-start urban driving. Tax and insurance groups for a 2007 Audi A6 tend to be mid-range, though your specific insurance group will depend on your personal profile.
Maintenance costs for this model can be significant due to the complexity of Audi's suspension and exhaust systems. Given the recurring advisories for brake wear, tyres, and exhaust leaks, you should set aside a contingency fund for regular servicing and component replacement.
First, conduct a thorough inspection of the exhaust system. The history shows a long-standing issue with a 'middle box blowing' and a 'minor leak of exhaust gases' appearing in multiple tests from 2022 through to 2025. A loud drone or smell of fumes during a test drive is a major red flag.
Second, inspect the suspension and tyres. The vehicle has a history of 'dangerous' tyre failures due to exposed cords and structural issues. Check all four tyres for even wear and adequate tread depth. Furthermore, listen for knocks or knocks from the front end, which could indicate that the suspension arm bushes and ball joints mentioned in the 2024 MOT have not been adequately serviced.
This 2007 black Audi A6 2.0 Petrol has covered 115,969 miles since its first registration in January 2007. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring advisories, particularly regarding the exhaust system and suspension components. While it has passed its most recent test, several maintenance items have been flagged repeatedly over several years.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Audi A6 model to provide a comparative benchmark.
