2014 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · RV64 ONZ

The 2014 Audi A6 maintains a generally stable mechanical condition, though the most recent test on 2025-12-17 at 125,066 miles reveals a worsening trend in consumable wear and minor suspension degradation. The tester flagged a light oil misting from the nearside front shock absorber, indicating the damper is beginning to fail and will likely require replacement soon. Both the nearside front and offside rear tyres wore close to the legal limit with edge wear, suggesting tracking drift or prolonged underinflation. The recurring fitment of undertrays preventing full inspection remains a persistent frustration, obscuring potential corrosion or fluid leaks from view. Covering roughly 10,422 miles per year, the mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The recorded intervals show consistent annual progression: 97,151 miles in December 2022, 109,118 miles in December 2023, 119,708 miles in December 2024, and 125,066 miles in December 2025. No significant gaps or sudden spikes in usage appear in the data, pointing to regular, dependable service rather than long periods of dormancy or extreme high-mileage stints. A physical inspection must prioritize the front suspension components, given the recurring advisories. In the December 2024 test at 119,708 miles, the tester flagged worn front lower suspension arm pins or bushes on both sides, alongside slight play in the nearside front wheel bearing. By the December 2025 test at 125,066 miles, the nearside front shock absorber displayed oil misting, suggesting the front suspension has endured sustained stress over recent years. Buyers should thoroughly examine the inner tyre edges and wheel bearing play, as the edge wear and bearing play indicate potential alignment drift or neglected suspension repairs. The repeated TPMS malfunction in December 2023 and persistent undertray obstructions demand a close look at the braking system and structural underbody for hidden corrosion or damage.
