2012 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · MH06 AYR

The 2012 Audi A6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 October 2025 at 138,573 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or failures appear across the entire supplied history, indicating the vehicle has not exhibited worsening mechanical condition under official inspection. Annual mileage has tracked close to typical expectations for a fourteen-year-old executive saloon. The record shows 100,968 miles at the 21 October 2021 test, rising to 110,333 by 26 October 2022, 119,353 on 19 October 2023, 127,483 on 24 October 2024, and 138,573 on 23 October 2025. That equates to roughly 9,500 to 9,900 miles added each year with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The sparse but consistent entries show no omitted test years and no late presentations, which implies the previous keeper maintained statutory testing discipline. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clean paper trail. The DVSA record captures only pass-day condition and omits wear developing between tests. At 138,573 miles the suspension bushes, front coil springs, and brake disc thickness warrant hands-on measurement, as these components accrue fatigue invisible to a fault-free MOT. The tester logged no corrosion or structural concerns, yet sill seams and subframe mounts on an A6 of this age demand visual checks for moisture-driven deterioration. The absence of recurring advisories suggests basic consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were renewed before each October appointment rather than flagged. This points to a keeper who addressed roadworthiness proactively. Given the unbroken record, the principal risk lies in undocumented intermittent faults; a pre-purchase diagnostic scan of the engine management and gearbox control units remains sensible on a high-mileage German estate.
