2013 Audi A6 3.0L Diesel · RN55 RAF

The 2013 Audi A6 has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record across five consecutive MOT tests, with the most recent inspection on 8 July 2025—just under a year ago at 105,802 miles. No defects or advisories were recorded in any of the tests, indicating a stable maintenance history without recurring mechanical failures. While this suggests the vehicle has been kept in sound condition, the absence of any warnings means potential issues—such as suspension wear, brake component degradation, or corrosion—cannot be ruled out without further inspection. The lack of advisories also implies the tester did not identify any hidden concerns requiring immediate attention, but this does not preclude gradual wear on high-mileage components. The recorded mileage of 105,802 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 8,139 miles annually, a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no irregular gaps or sudden spikes in mileage between tests, with intervals averaging around 4,000 miles per year. This suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly without prolonged periods of neglect or excessive wear. However, the steady accumulation of mileage—now approaching 106,000—means critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers are likely nearing their expected service life, particularly given the vehicle’s age. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension system, focusing on the condition of the rear coil springs and bushes, which often degrade around this mileage threshold. Binding or uneven brake calipers, particularly on the rear, should be checked for excessive wear or corrosion, as should the brake discs for uneven thickness or glazing. Structural integrity is another concern; the chassis and subframe should be examined for signs of corrosion, especially around wheel arches and the sills, where salt damage accumulates over time. Given the lack of MOT advisories, these areas may have been overlooked, so thorough visual and functional checks are essential.
