2005 Audi A6 2.4L Petrol · OV55 XPP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the data shows a significant discrepancy in recorded mileage. The most recent test on 31 August 2022 at 145,106 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure on the same day at the identical mileage. This suggests either an administrative error or a minor mechanical fault that was rectified immediately before the re-test. Since the last MOT was conducted nearly four years ago, the current roadworthiness status is unverified and requires an immediate fresh inspection prior to purchase. The mileage history is highly inconsistent and raises clerical concerns. Between October 2019 at 125,396 miles and August 2021 at 225,201 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 100,000 miles in under two years. However, the August 2022 record shows only 145,106 miles, which is a decrease of 80,095 miles from the previous test. This regression indicates a serious data entry error or odometer tampering. Despite this anomaly, the overall average of use at roughly 6,900 miles per year is typical for a vehicle of this age, suggesting moderate wear during the periods where data remained consistent. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components, given the vehicle's twenty-one-year age. The tester should check for corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting, as well as inspecting perished rubber bushes and control arm bushings. Given the long gap since the last recorded MOT, a thorough check of brake calipers for binding and fluid leaks is essential to ensure no significant mechanical degradation has occurred during the period of unrecorded use.
