2009 Audi A6 5.2L Petrol · OV09 EDJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a maintenance trend showing gradual improvement over the last two years. The most recent test in March 2026 at 126,209 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding a product on the headlamp lens. This follows a more problematic period in 2024, which saw multiple defects related to registration plates and tyres, suggesting that the current owner has addressed deferred wear and tear issues that were previously flagged. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 126,209 miles reflects a consistent annual average of approximately 7,400 miles. The data shows a steady usage pattern, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between August 2023 and July 2024, and another 7,300 miles recorded between July 2024 and August 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than being left stationary, which is generally beneficial for rubber seals and mechanical components that degrade during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the August 2022 test at 99,998 miles identified worn bushes across all four upper suspension arms. While these were noted as just acceptable at the time, the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood that these rubber components have since perished or developed further play. The recurring history of tyre damage and wear in 2023 and 2024 indicates that consumables are replaced only when necessary, so a thorough check of the current tyre set for uneven wear is vital to ensure the alignment remains correct.
