2018 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · SA02 AOA

The 2018 Audi A6 presents a broadly stable and well-maintained roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass at 85,247 miles on 17 March 2026. The preceding test on 16 March 2026 at 85,243 miles flagged two minor defects: an inoperative engine MIL and a below-limit nearside rear tyre. Both were evidently rectified within 24 hours, and the subsequent pass recorded zero advisories. This pattern suggests a diligent owner who addressed the failures promptly rather than ignoring them. The mileage accumulation sits at approximately 10,656 miles per year, which is typical for an executive saloon of this age. The record shows a notable jump of 13,629 miles between the March 2023 test at 56,284 miles and the April 2024 test at 69,916 miles, indicating a period of heavier use. From April 2024 to March 2026, the car added 15,331 miles over nearly two years, confirming sustained regular driving rather than long periods of inactivity. No suspicious mileage gaps or reversals are present in the data. The recurring theme across the history is tyre wear appearing at or near the legal limit at successive tests. The nearside front tyre was noted as worn close to the limit in April 2024, and the nearside rear tyre failed outright in March 2026. This suggests uneven wear patterns, potentially indicating alignment issues, suspension bush wear, or simply a car driven predominantly on urban routes with tight nearside kerb contact. A buyer should inspect the inner edges of all four tyres closely and check for uneven tread wear that could point to tracking or suspension geometry faults. The intermittent windscreen chips noted in 2024 and 2025 appear cosmetic and within legal tolerance, but any fresh damage should be assessed for crack propagation. The brief MIL defect in March 2026 warrants a diagnostic scan to confirm no stored fault codes remain, though the clean follow-up pass is reassuring. Overall, the record reflects competent ownership with no structural or mechanical red flags.
