2010 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · LS60 UCZ

The vehicle presents a generally stable mechanical picture, though the most recent MOT on 31 January 2026 at 132,162 miles flagged a developing front suspension issue. The tester noted worn anti-roll bar linkage pins or bushes on both sides, though not yet causing excessive movement. This is a new defect compared to the clean pass recorded on 24 January 2025 at 127,205 miles, suggesting a minor deterioration in front-end components over the last twelve months. The overall trend remains broadly stable, with no recurring serious faults, but the fresh advisory warrants attention. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a 2010 vehicle. The recorded distance grew from 112,786 miles in January 2023 to 121,452 miles in January 2024, then to 127,205 miles in January 2025, and finally to 132,162 miles in January 2026. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 8,700 miles per year, which is typical for a large executive estate. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record, and the annual testing pattern suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. The only notable defect in the entire history is the front anti-roll bar linkage wear picked up in January 2026. A buyer should physically inspect the front drop links, anti-roll bar bushes, and lower arm bushes for play or deterioration. Given the car's age and mileage, it is also worth checking the condition of the front coil springs for sag or cracking, and examining the inner wheel arches and sill seams for corrosion, as these are common failure points on older Audi A6 models. The braking system and tyre wear should be assessed visually, since no specific brake or tyre defects have been flagged but consumable condition can change quickly with use. The windscreen washer fault from the failed test on 24 January 2025 at 127,205 miles was rectified before the retest on the same date, indicating a simple fluid or pump issue rather than a persistent electrical or plumbing fault. No exhaust emissions, steering, or structural defects have appeared across five consecutive annual tests. A prospective buyer should still commission an independent inspection focusing on the front suspension components and underside corrosion, as the MOT record alone cannot confirm the condition of subframe mounts, pipework, or hidden rust.
