2010 Audi A6 3.0L Diesel · S2 FBC

This 2010 Audi A6 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 20 February 2026 at 108,197 miles. The absence of any defects or advisories in the current test indicates the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards without compromise. A clean sweep across the last four annual assessments demonstrates consistent upkeep, suggesting the previous owner addressed any emerging issues proactively rather than allowing faults to accumulate. The recorded mileage aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,762 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this vintage. The annual tests reveal a steady accumulation of miles, jumping from 90,117 miles in February 2023 to 99,053 miles in February 2024, and then to 106,474 miles in February 2025. This consistent yearly increase of approximately 7,000 to 9,000 miles points to regular, sustained use rather than prolonged periods of dormancy or sudden high-mileage trips. The minor discrepancy in the 2025 record, where a failure at 106,472 miles preceded a pass at 106,474 miles, likely represents a same-day retest or an aborted initial test, but the lack of recorded defects confirms no mechanical faults were present. Despite the pristine MOT record, a pre-purchase inspection must account for the natural wear associated with a 108,000-mile executive saloon. Suspension bushes and shock absorbers will have endured significant cyclic loading over sixteen years, so a physical check for cracking, leaking dampers, and excessive play is essential. Brake discs and pads should be measured for wear, as consumable replacement intervals vary wildly depending on driving style. An underbody examination must assess the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes for corrosion, a common affliction on older German saloons. Inspect the exhaust system for rust and the turbocharger for shaft play or oil misting. While the MOT history proves the car passes regulatory thresholds today, verifying the condition of these high-wear mechanical components ensures the vehicle remains reliable beyond the test certificate's expiry.
