2021 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · SC59 OOM

A clean MOT record across three consecutive annual tests, most recently on 18 March 2026, shows no recorded mechanical failures or advisories for this 2021 Audi A6, suggesting that the components inspected by the DVSA have remained within acceptable limits throughout its documented life. At 42 317 miles the vehicle averages roughly 8 500 miles per year, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within typical usage for a five‑year‑old executive sedan. The annual testing cadence reveals no significant gaps in recorded mileage, indicating consistent road use rather than prolonged storage periods that could conceal latent deterioration. Although the MOT history reports no defects, a prudent buyer should still verify the condition of wear items that are not directly inspected by the test. On a low‑speed test drive, listen for any clunking or knocking over bumps that could hint at worn suspension bushings or deteriorating control arm joints, and feel for any steering pull or vibration that might indicate tyre or wheel alignment issues. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or scoring, and apply the brakes firmly to detect any pulsation or judder that could point to warped rotors or sticking calipers. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a focused examination of the engine oil level, any signs of external oil leaks around the valve cover or oil pan, and the condition of the exhaust system for cracks or excessive smoke will help confirm that the power‑train remains healthy. A comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection covering these areas, together with a review of service records where available, will provide the necessary confidence before committing to purchase.
