2017 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · PL11 AAA

The 2017 Audi A6 is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 29 July 2025 recording a pass at 51 373 mi with no defects. The maintenance trend is improving; after two tyre‑cut failures in 2020 and 2022 the vehicle has completed four consecutive passes without recorded faults, indicating the issues were addressed and subsequent care has been consistent. Mileage accumulation shows a low annual rate of roughly 5 700 mi per year, which is modest for a nine‑year‑old model. Test intervals are essentially annual, though the 2022 record includes two closely spaced entries (33 656 mi failure on 2 August and a pass at 33 730 mi on 5 August) and a similar pair in July 2020, suggesting quick retests after the tyre problems were rectified. The steady mileage progression points to light, controlled use rather than heavy duty operation. A buyer should inspect the tyres for cuts, ply exposure, and uneven tread wear, checking both near‑side and off‑side front/rear positions for signs of impact damage. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for corrosion or wear that could result from striking kerbs or potholes, while the brake discs and calipers need a visual check for scoring or binding that may have arisen from the previous tyre damage. Finally, a thorough look for rust or structural corrosion around wheel arches and underbody will confirm whether the low mileage has spared the chassis or if any latent damage exists.
