2002 Audi A6 1.9L Diesel · RL02 VBX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile despite its age, showing a consistent pass history. The most recent test on 28 November 2023 at 146,269 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met minimum standards at that time. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the immediate subsequent pass suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly without being indicative of a deep-seated mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle for its age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between September 2021 and November 2022, the car covered 1,627 miles, reflecting a period of lower activity. The interval between November 2022 and November 2023 saw a further 1,046 miles. This low annual accumulation often reduces the wear on drivetrain-related components such as suspension bushings and brake discs, though it increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading or corrosion accumulating from standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the underbody, as 24-year-old Audis are prone to corrosion in the sills and floor pans. Although the MOT record lacks specific advisories, the low mileage warrants a close check for weeping fluid seals or perished rubber boots that might not trigger a failure. Given the infrequent usage, verifying the condition of the tyres and the state of brake calipers is essential to ensure they have not seized due to lack of use.
