2016 Audi A6 3.0L Diesel · MD16 MUO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT result in its most recent test on 23 June 2026 at 118,318 miles. Although the car failed that same test due to the offside headlamp aim being too high, the immediate pass indicates the issue was a simple adjustment rather than a component failure. The lack of advisories or defects in the June 2026 and October 2025 tests suggests that the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard, following a period of minor consumable issues. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical ten-year usage pattern, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 32,616 miles in July 2019 to the current 118,318 miles. A notable increase in usage occurred between October 2023 and October 2024, where the odometer climbed by 11,570 miles, and again between October 2024 and October 2025, covering 10,337 miles. This consistent annual mileage suggests regular motorway or long-distance driving rather than short, sporadic trips which can often lead to more frequent mechanical issues. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and cooling systems during a physical inspection. The November 2021 test flagged a coolant leak and light oil misting on both rear shock absorbers. While these issues were cleared in subsequent tests, the age of the vehicle means these components may be approaching the end of their service life again. The 2024 test highlighted worn tyres on both rear axles and a damaged windscreen, indicating that while the car is mechanically sound, the previous owner occasionally allowed consumable items to reach their legal limits before addressing them. The overall history shows a vehicle that has transitioned from addressing minor leaks and suspension wear in its mid-life to a very clean recent record. Focus the inspection on checking for any signs of renewed coolant seepage or dampness around the rear shock absorbers to ensure the 2021 faults remain resolved. Given the recent pass with no advisories, the vehicle appears to be in a good state of repair, provided the recent headlamp adjustment and tyre replacements were carried out as part of routine maintenance.
