2017 Audi A6 4.0L Petrol · PL67 FFY

The 2017 Audi A6 presents a stable roadworthiness position as of the most recent test on 18 November 2023, where it passed at 44,244 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is steady and free of escalating faults. A minor anomaly appears in the failed test dated 14 November 2023 at 44,219 miles, which the DVSA log shows with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical failure before the clean pass four days later. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical use for a nine-year-old executive saloon. The record shows 30,877 miles on 12 November 2021, rising to 38,005 miles on 16 November 2022 and 44,244 miles by 18 November 2023. That equates to roughly 6,000 to 6,200 miles per year in the logged period, against an overall average near 4,900 miles annually since registration. The low total of 44,244 miles implies extended idle periods, which can permit corrosion on brake discs, seized calipers, and degraded suspension bushes despite the clean test sheets. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's low use and likely static storage. The MOT record flags no advisories on exhaust emissions, coil springs, or steering joints, but the 2023 failure with zero listed defects warrants confirmation that no outstanding recall or paperwork issue remains. Verify the brake discs and calipers for binding after standing, and check tyre sidewalls for age cracking even though tread passed. The sparse four-entry history offers no evidence of recurring wear trends or owner neglect. Previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing on schedule each November. Given the clean sheets, the A6 reads as a low-mileage candidate, but in-person checks on consumables and hidden rust remain prudent before purchase.
