2010 Audi RS6 5.0L Petrol · OV10 MPZ

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT record from April 2022 at 49,592 miles shows a clean pass with no defects. This follows a period of mechanical concern noted in the March 2021 test at 43,441 miles. During that inspection, the tester identified several suspension issues, specifically light oil misting on both front shock absorbers and a worn bush on the offside front. A nearside rear suspension component pin or bush was also flagged as slightly worn. The absence of these issues in the 2022 test suggests that the suspension components may have been addressed or that the wear had not progressed to a failure threshold. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 2010 model, averaging approximately 3,100 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, albeit slow, upward trend in usage. Between June 2020 and April 2022, the vehicle covered roughly 12,500 miles, which represents a slight increase in annual usage compared to the earlier years of the record. There are no significant gaps in the testing history between 2013 and 2022, indicating the vehicle has been subject to regular annual inspections despite its limited road use. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension system. While the 2022 test was clear, the recurring issues with shock absorber misting and worn bushes in 2021 indicate that the dampening components are a known area of wear for this vehicle. Given the low mileage, components may have suffered from age-related degradation rather than heavy mechanical use. It is advisable to check for any signs of renewed oil leakage from the dampers or play in the suspension bushings. The history also shows minor consumable issues, such as tyre damage noted in May 2014. Because the car has spent significant time covering low annual distances, the buyer should also inspect the condition of rubber components and seals for perishing. Checking the integrity of the tyres and the overall condition of the chassis for any signs of corrosion or age-related deterioration is recommended to complement the clean MOT history.
