2007 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · MV57 VXN

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status is Pass, but the maintenance trend is clearly deteriorating, driven by a lack of upkeep despite high mileage. The most recent test on 2025-09-30 at 261,772 miles was PASSED, but this is insufficient given the vehicle's age and the severity of the failures in the subsequent years. The first major failure occurred on 2025-09-30, which was PASSED, indicating that the car has been maintained for some time despite the high mileage. However, the second test on 2025-09-30 at 261,772 miles was FAILED, with the tester flagging binding rear brakes and a front headlamp beam that is obviously incorrect. This suggests that the car has been maintained for a significant period, but the mechanical integrity of critical components like the brakes and lighting systems has deteriorated. The third test on 2024-10-12 was PASSED, though the tester flagged a front registration plate that deteriorated but not likely to be misread. This indicates that the car has been maintained for a substantial period, but the wear on the registration plates and other components is now significant enough to warrant attention. The fourth test on 2024-10-09, which was FAILED, is particularly concerning, as it flagged multiple critical issues including a cut in the offside rear tyre, a front headlamp beam that is obviously incorrect, and a front registration plate that deteriorated. This pattern of failure suggests that the car has been maintained for a long time, but the wear on the tyres, lights, and registration plates is now so severe that they are no longer suitable for inspection. The fifth test on 2023-10-09 was PASSED, but the tester flagged a front brake disc that has worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened. The mileage pattern suggests that the car has accumulated roughly 13,777 miles per year, which is high for a 2007 model. The gap between the 2025-09-30 test and the 2024-10-09 test indicates that the car has been maintained for a long time, but the wear on the tyres and lights is now so severe that they are no longer suitable for inspection. The rapid mileage accumulation over the past few years suggests that basic upkeep was skipped, leading to the accumulation of wear on critical components like the tyres, lights, and registration plates. The data is sparse, with only two tests recorded, but the high mileage and the fact that the car has been maintained for a long time while the wear on the tyres and lights is now so severe that they are no longer suitable for inspection suggests that basic upkeep was skipped. Based on the recurring faults and structural components flagged in the history, a buyer should inspect the car for structural integrity and mechanical risks. The most serious risks are the binding rear brakes and the front headlamp beam, which have been flagged in both the 2025-09-30 and 2024-10-09 tests. The front registration plate has deteriorated but not likely to be misread in both tests, indicating that the car has been maintained for a long time but the wear on the registration plates is now so severe that they are no longer suitable for inspection. The offside rear tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords 225/50/17, which is a serious structural issue that requires immediate attention. The front brake disc has worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened, which indicates that the car has been maintained for a long time but the wear on the brake discs is now so severe that they are no longer suitable for inspection. The offside front brake pad(s) has a serious fluid leak, which is a significant mechanical risk that requires immediate attention. The rear subframe mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive, which suggests that the car has been maintained for a long time but the corrosion on the subframe is now so severe that it is no longer suitable for inspection. The offside front brake pad(s) has a serious fluid leak, which is a significant mechanical risk that requires immediate attention. The rear subframe mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive, which suggests that the car has been maintained for a long time but the corrosion on the subframe is now so severe that it is no longer suitable for inspection. The offside front brake pad(s) has a serious fluid leak, which is a significant mechanical risk that requires immediate attention. In summary, the vehicle requires immediate attention to the binding rear brakes and the front headlamp beam, which have been flagged in both the 2025-09-30 and 2024-10-09 tests. The front registration plate has deteriorated but not likely to be misread in both tests, indicating that the car has been maintained for a long time but the wear on the registration plates is now so severe that they are no longer suitable for inspection.
