2022 Peugeot 308 GT SW Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · S12 JNF

The 2014 Audi A6 presents a stable and recently improving maintenance picture. The most recent test on 10 October 2025 at 135,794 miles passed with zero defects, a clean sheet that contrasts sharply with the previous day's failure at 135,762 miles for two rear tyre issues. That same-day pass after replacing or repairing the tyres suggests the owner addressed the immediate failures promptly. Looking back further, the trend is one of gradual resolution rather than neglect. The October 2024 test flagged a corroded rear sub-frame, a corroded offside front shock absorber with reduced damping, and a corroded nearside rear fuel tank strap. By October 2025, none of these appeared as defects, implying repairs or replacements were carried out in the intervening twelve months. The recurring rear sub-frame corrosion advisory from 2023 and 2024, noted as not seriously weakened on both occasions, appears to have been managed rather than ignored. The mileage accumulation tells a consistent story. Between October 2023 at 118,887 miles and October 2024 at 127,771 miles, the car covered 8,884 miles in twelve months. The following year, from October 2024 to October 2025, it added 8,023 miles, taking the total to 135,794. This equates to roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles annually in recent years, which is moderate for a diesel or petrol executive saloon of this age and sits below the typical 11,316 miles per year implied by the overall average since 2014. The lower recent annual mileage may reflect lighter use, but the car has not been sitting idle for extended periods. There are no suspicious gaps in the MOT record that would suggest the vehicle was off the road for long stretches. A buyer inspecting this A6 in person should focus on the rear sub-frame and underbody corrosion, given the repeated advisories in 2023 and 2024. Even though the October 2025 test was clean, the earlier notes about corrosion warrant a close visual check of the sub-frame mounting points, the fuel tank straps, and the rear suspension mounting areas, particularly if the car has been used on salted roads. The offside front shock absorber was flagged in 2024 for reduced damping and corrosion, so a bounce test and a close look at the damper body for fresh corrosion or oil misting would be prudent. The rear brake discs and pads were noted as worn in 2023, and while the 2025 pass suggests they have since been replaced, checking the thickness of the rear discs and pads will confirm whether relatively fresh components are still in place. The offside front CV boot was leaking grease in 2023, and its absence from later records implies it was replaced, but a visual inspection of the boot for splits and the surrounding area for grease splatter remains worthwhile. Finally, the two rear tyres failed on 9 October 2025 for wear and a cut, so verifying the date stamps and tread depth on the current rear tyres will confirm whether new rubber was fitted immediately before the pass.
