2016 Audi A6 3.0L Diesel · RV16 RFL

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-05 recorded two tyre-related issues: the offside rear tyre was worn smooth on the inside edge and near wear indicators, while the nearside front tyre was worn to 2.2mm, close to the legal limit. These findings align with a long-standing pattern of uneven tyre wear on the inner edges of rear tyres, first noted in 2022. A recurring mechanical pattern shows consistent inner-edge tyre wear on the offside rear tyre since 2022, with additional rear tyre issues in 2021 and 2023. The 2025 report adds a front tyre concern, suggesting potential alignment or suspension imbalances. However, no new safety-critical defects were recorded, and all issues were classified as advisory rather than urgent. The trend in tyre wear appears stable over time, with no significant escalation in severity. The offside rear tyre has consistently been near the legal limit, but no major repairs or replacements are documented in the MOT history. The 2025 report’s mention of the nearside front tyre nearing the limit may indicate a shift in wear distribution, possibly due to driving habits or alignment adjustments. The vehicle’s mileage of 76,177 miles over 10 years equates to roughly 7,618 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This suggests moderate use rather than heavy wear, though uneven tyre wear could hint at under-inflation, misalignment, or suspension wear.
