2010 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · LR60 VRL

The vehicle demonstrates a stable and improving maintenance trend, currently holding a clean bill of health with no recorded defects in the three most recent annual inspections. The pass on 18 August 2025 at 134,766 miles confirms that the car has successfully navigated its latest assessment without any advisories, suggesting that the previous owner has addressed historical mechanical concerns effectively. This clean record over the last three years indicates a proactive approach to vehicle upkeep. The recorded mileage of 134,766 over sixteen years averages approximately 8,400 miles per annum, which aligns with standard expectations for a vehicle of this age and class. The accumulation of mileage remains consistent, with roughly 4,000 to 6,000 miles added between each annual test. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or evidence of erratic usage patterns, which implies the car has been kept in regular operation rather than suffering from the potential mechanical degradation associated with long-term storage. While the recent MOT history is clear, a physical inspection should focus on the suspension components and chassis integrity, particularly given the 2021 report of deteriorating anti-roll bar link rod bushes. Although these were not flagged in subsequent tests, the age of the vehicle makes these rubber components prone to degradation, and they may now require replacement to restore optimal handling. You should also verify the condition of the under-trays and sill covers, as these were noted in the past and can sometimes conceal corrosion or fluid leaks that might otherwise go unnoticed during a surface-level assessment. Check the brake discs and pads for signs of scoring or uneven wear, as these are common consumables that may not always trigger an advisory until they reach the legal minimum threshold. Given the Audi A6 platform, listen for any knocking sounds from the front suspension during a test drive, as this would confirm if the previously mentioned linkages or associated control arm bushings have reached the end of their service life. The current clean MOT status provides a solid baseline, but a thorough inspection of these specific high-wear areas is essential to ensure long-term reliability.
