2009 Audi A6 2.7L Diesel · OV09 EDK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in July 2025 at 150,856 miles, this followed a failure just four days prior. That failure identified a rough nearside front wheel bearing, an insecure front anti-roll bar, and a worn offside rear tyre. The fact that these faults were rectified immediately suggests the owner only addresses mechanical issues when necessitated by the MOT tester rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 150,856 miles over 17 years, the Audi has averaged approximately 8,874 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent use, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between May 2024 and July 2025, and another 4,200 miles between April 2023 and May 2024. This steady mileage suggests the car is not sat for long periods, though the age of the vehicle means degradation of rubber components and thinning of metal is expected. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, specifically checking the anti-roll bar links and bushes, as the previous failure highlighted an insecure attachment. The recurring mention of perishing tyres and uneven wear across 2023, 2024, and 2025 indicates either poor alignment settings or neglect of tyre replacement before they failed. The buyer must also verify the nearside front wheel bearing for any play or noise to ensure the repair performed after the July 2025 failure was executed correctly.
