2021 Audi A6 Sport 50 Tfsi E Quattro S-A 2.0L Hybrid electric · LS21 FUA

A sudden instance of tyre-related safety failures interrupted an otherwise clean roadworthiness record, though the vehicle returned to a defect-free status in its most recent test on 18 March 2026. The failure recorded on 07 March 2025, involving a dangerous structural tear in the nearside front tyre and a major cut reaching the cords on the offside front tyre, represents the only recorded mechanical deficiency in the provided history. Following the rectification of these tyre defects, the subsequent passing of the MOT without further advisories or failures suggests a stable current state regarding the vehicle's primary safety components. The recorded mileage of 48,477 miles over approximately five years indicates a consistent usage pattern averaging roughly 9,695 miles per year. This level of annual accumulation is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests regular road use rather than extended periods of stationary storage. Mechanically, this moderate mileage profile implies that while consumables such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes will have undergone standard wear, the vehicle has not been subjected to the accelerated component fatigue often seen in high-mileage commercial or long-distance motorway vehicles. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, given the specific structural failures noted in the 2025 inspection. During a test drive, it is essential to inspect the sidewalls of all four tyres for any signs of bulging, cracking, or previous repairs that could indicate impact damage. While the 2026 MOT was clear, the previous failure highlights a susceptibility to tyre damage that warrants a visual check for uneven wear patterns, which could signal underlying issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. Beyond the tyre history, the lack of recorded advisories for items such as brake pipe corrosion, suspension linkage play, or exhaust emissions means there are no specific mechanical symptoms flagged by the DVSA to investigate. However, as a precaution, a test drive should include monitoring for any sudden steering pulls, unusual knocks from the suspension over uneven surfaces, or any rhythmic vibrations through the steering wheel or brake pedal. These checks will help confirm that the structural and mechanical integrity remains as the clean 2026 MOT certificate suggests.
