Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise a professional inspection of the underside of the vehicle. The 2024 MOT specifically mentions a corroded front sub-frame and perishing bushes across both the front and rear; you should determine if these have been addressed or if they now require costly replacement. Use these findings as a primary point for price negotiation.
The 1968cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys, though tax and insurance will be reflective of a premium executive saloon from 2010. Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this age of vehicle due to the specific chassis and brake issues noted in the history.
Carefully inspect the front sub-frame for the corrosion mentioned in the 2024 MOT and check all suspension arm pins and bushes for perishing. You should also test the offside rear brake to ensure it is no longer binding and verify that the nearside front tyre has been replaced since it was noted as being close to the legal limit (2.3mm).
This black 2010 Audi A6 2.0L diesel has recorded 130,151 miles, which is slightly below the model average. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing, though the August 2024 test contains a substantial list of advisories. These primarily concern the structural integrity of the sub-frame and the condition of the suspension bushes.
The Audi A6 maintains a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 85.2%, with the most common failures typically relating to headlamps and tyres.
