2010 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · RE10 EOB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean pass on July 2 2025 at 185,857 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner successfully addressed a failure just one week prior in June 2025. That failure resulted from a fractured offside front inner wheel and an inoperative registration plate lamp. The immediate rectification of the wheel fracture suggests the owner is proactive regarding safety-critical defects once they are flagged by the tester. At 185,857 miles over 16 years, the Audi has averaged approximately 11,600 miles per annum. This aligns closely with typical usage patterns for an executive saloon of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 4,500 to 6,000 miles covered between each MOT interval since 2022. This steady accumulation of mileage indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally helps keep rubber components lubric and mechanical seals from drying out or seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry due to recurring issues with play in ball joints. In both 2023 and 2024, the tester flagged play in the offside front lower and upper suspension arm ball joints. While these were passed subsequently, the repetitive nature of these faults suggests the front-end components may be reaching the end of their functional life collectively. Additionally, the 2023 report noted a slight oil leak from the rear of the gearbox. Although not deemed excessive at the time, a visual check is required to ensure this seal failure has not progressed into a more significant loss over the last 10,000 miles.
