2014 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · MM14 XGF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance history shows a trend of developing suspension component wear. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 65,133 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just one mile prior. That failure identified a significant noisy offside rear wheel bearing and incorrect headlamp aim, which were addressed. However, the presence of worn front lower suspension arm bushes and leaking shock absorbers indicates that the front suspension assembly is beginning to reach its service limit despite the overall pass. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old Audi, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual testing intervals, moving from 54,647 miles in August 2023 to 65,133 miles in August 2025. This low usage suggests limited motorway exposure, but it often leads to rubber components degrading and seals drying over time, as evidenced by the fractured nearside rear coil spring found in 2024 at 60,004 miles. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the records repeatedly flag inner edge wear on the front tyres and worn rear arm bushes. This suggests a potential alignment issue or failing bushings that have not been fully rectified. The misting on the nearside front shock absorber should be monitored for increased leakage, as it precedes total component failure. Additionally, the offside rear wheel bearing that failed in 2025 must be verified for any remaining play or noise to ensure the replacement was completed to standard.
