2014 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · MJ14 XEH

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the most recent MOT result indicates a shift towards deferred maintenance after several years of clean records. The test in June 2026 at 102,635 miles flagged multiple advisories regarding worn lower suspension arm bushes on both front sides, alongside perishing and low-tread issues on the rear tyres. While the car passed several tests without defects between 2022 and 2025, the emergence of these faults suggests that components are now reaching the end of their operational life and require attention. The mileage profile is consistent with a typical used-car pattern of this age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between January 2022 and May 2022 where the car covered only 800 miles, suggesting a period of storage or limited use. Since 2023, the mileage has accumulated steadily, moving from 90,480 miles to over 102,000 miles in three years. This consistent usage explains the current wear on the rubber-based suspension components and tyres noted in the latest inspection. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension assembly to assess the extent of the control arm bush play. The tester noted movement that is not yet excessive, but these bushes will eventually lead to handling instability and premature tyre wear if not replaced. The history shows a recurring trend of uneven tyre wear and inner edge thinning, which points to potential alignment issues or worn shock absorbers. Additionally, the corroded exhaust clamp noted in 2021 should be checked to ensure surface rust has not progressed to the structural integrity of the exhaust system.
