2009 Audi A6 2.7L Diesel · OY09 WXH

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the record indicates a stable trend of developing suspension wear. The most recent test on August 12, 2025, at 113,443 miles passed despite noting a worn nearside front upper suspension arm pin or bush. This specific issue has persisted across three consecutive tests, dating back to July 2023 when both nearside and offside front arms were flagged for similar wear. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,673 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 96,967 miles and August 2025 at 113,443 miles, the car covered 16,476 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 4,100 miles annually during that period. This low mileage explains why the vehicle has passed its tests despite showing age-related component degradation rather than high-mileage stress. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry. The recurring advisories regarding the upper arm bushes suggest that the rubber components are reaching the end of their functional life and will eventually require replacement to prevent unpredictable handling or uneven tyre wear. Additionally, the persistent deterioration of both front and rear registration plates noted since at least 2021 indicates a lack of minor cosmetic maintenance; these plates should be replaced soon to avoid a future failure.
