2021 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · SC21 YVJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent MOT test on July 7 2025 at 86,160 miles resulted in an initial failure due to the offside front tyre being below the legal tread depth limit. While the vehicle passed immediately following the replacement of this component, the failure suggests the owner ignored basic consumable wear until it reached a safety-critical level. The mileage profile is notably high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging over 17,000 miles per annum. There is a significant discrepancy in the provided data, as the July 2024 entry lists a mileage of 691,767 miles, which is physically impossible for a vehicle of this age. Assuming the 86,160 figure from the 2025 test is correct, the car has covered approximately 17,000 miles in the last year. This rate of use puts accelerated stress on the drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking system. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the offside front tyre was noted as being worn on the edge during the 2025 failure. This pattern of wear often indicates incorrect geometry or worn ball joints and bushes that require attention. Given the high annual mileage, a thorough check of the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for seizing is essential, as these components are likely nearing the end of their service life.
