2009 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · ML09 AFF

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health with a consistent record of compliance, as evidenced by the most recent pass on 18 October 2025 at 147,969 miles. This result marks the fifth consecutive year of defect-free testing, indicating a stable and well-maintained mechanical state. The absence of advisories across this period suggests that the previous owner proactively addressed wear and tear before the annual inspection, which is a positive indicator for long-term reliability. The recorded mileage of 147,969 miles over a seventeen-year lifespan averages approximately 8,700 miles per annum, aligning with standard usage expectations for a vehicle of this class. The data shows a significant anomaly in the 2022 test, where the odometer reading jumped to 210,327 miles before returning to 136,053 miles in the 2023 record. This discrepancy suggests a clerical error during the 2022 data entry process rather than a genuine fluctuation in vehicle usage. Aside from this administrative inconsistency, the annual accumulation remains steady, reflecting predictable wear patterns consistent with regular road use. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the Audi A6 platform-specific vulnerabilities that often escape the scope of a basic MOT. While the test history shows no structural or mechanical failures, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at the multi-link front suspension bushes and control arms, which frequently degrade on this model. Inspect the engine bay for signs of oil seepage from the rocker cover gaskets and check the operation of the electronic parking brake, as these components are common failure points not always captured during a standard test. Confirm that the timing belt service interval has been observed, as this remains the most critical maintenance item for this engine series regardless of the clean MOT status.
