2010 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · LS10 TKC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 3 June 2026 at 121,732 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but shows the onset of age-related wear. While the car achieved clean passes in both 2024 and 2025, the latest test identified a minor defect regarding the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. This indicates that suspension components are beginning to reach their service limit but do not represent a catastrophic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-maintained older-age vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year over its sixteen-year life. This low-to-average usage suggests the car has not been subjected to high-distance motorway stress, which often benefits the drivetrain and interior components. There is a notable cluster of activity between January 2024 and June 2024, where the vehicle covered only 21 miles between a pass and a subsequent failure, suggesting a short-term re-test cycle rather than a period of mechanical neglect. A buyer should focus specifically on the front suspension geometry during a physical inspection. The record shows a nearside front anti-roll bar linkage failure in June 2024, followed by an offside front ball joint advisory in June 2026. This recurring pattern suggests that the rubber bushes and ball joints across the front axle are degrading simultaneously. It is advisable to inspect the control arm bushings and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, as these components will likely require replacement shortly to prevent future MOT failures.
