2021 Audi A6 S Line 40 Tfsi Mhev S-A 2.0L Petrol · LT71 FYZ

A clean MOT record across the last two annual tests, both passed without any recorded defects, suggests that no material non‑road‑worthy issues have been flagged by the DVSA during the most recent inspections. The absence of advisories or failures in September 2024 and September 2025 points to a stable roadworthiness profile up to the latest test date. At 49,024 mi after just over five years, the vehicle averages roughly 9,800 mi per annum, which sits comfortably within the typical usage range for a 2021 model. The mileage progression aligns with the regular annual MOT schedule, showing no unexplained gaps or sudden spikes that might indicate periods of intensive use or prolonged storage. This moderate annual accumulation generally translates to wear levels that are predictable for a vehicle of this age, with consumables such as tyres, brake pads and clutch components likely approaching mid‑life service intervals. When conducting a pre‑purchase inspection, focus on the wear items that are not captured by MOT data but are critical to ongoing safety. Examine the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition for uneven wear that could reveal mis‑alignment or suspension issues. Inspect the brake discs and pads for scoring, glazing or excessive thickness loss, and verify that the handbrake engages firmly without excessive travel. Check the front and rear suspension bushes, control arm joints and shock absorbers for any signs of oil leakage, cracked rubber or excessive play, as these components are prone to degradation after several hundred thousand kilometres of duty. During a short road test, listen for any metallic clunks over bumps that could indicate deteriorating suspension bushings or worn subframe mounts, and feel for any pull to one side that might betray tyre or steering alignment problems. Apply the brakes firmly and note any pulsation, judder or delayed pedal response, which would point to warped discs or uneven pad wear. Finally, observe the steering feel for any looseness or vibration at higher speeds, as these sensations can reveal hidden steering rack or tie‑rod wear that would not have been recorded in the MOT history.
