2005 Audi A6 2.4L Petrol · PE55 CXM

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness profile with a trend moving toward mechanical wear and structural degradation. While it passed the most recent test in July 2022 at 136,831 miles, the advisories issued indicate several components reaching the end of their functional life. The lack of an MOT record for the subsequent four years suggests the vehicle has either sat stationary or been operated without legal certification, which significantly increases the risk of undetected mechanical failure since the last professional inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in data between August 2021 and July 2022, during which the car covered roughly 9,300 miles. This low annual mileage, combined with the 21-year age of the Audi A6, suggests that rubber-based components such as suspension bushes, hoses, and seals are likely suffering from dry rot and cracking due to time-related oxidation regardless of the total distance driven. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the rear sub-frame, as the 2022 test flagged corrosion that was not yet structurally weakened but represents a terminal risk for the chassis. The history shows recurring issues with front suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages appearing between 2020 and 2022, indicating the front end geometry is likely beyond adjustment. Furthermore, the pitted and scored nearside front brake disc noted in 2022 suggest the braking system has been neglected, requiring a physical check of caliper condition and pad thickness to ensure the system is not seized.
