2016 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · SC65 AEA

The 2016 Audi A6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 October 2025 at 91,553 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2023 to 2024 also show clean sheets. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, so the vehicle displays no worsening pattern and no recurring defects across its recorded life. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 53,806 miles in September 2022, rising to 64,190 by September 2023, then 77,698 at the September 2024 pass. That equates to roughly 10,000 to 13,000 miles per year, consistent with the 9,155 annual average implied by the 91,553 total. The two entries dated 26 September 2024 show a failed test at 77,672 miles followed by a pass at 77,698 miles on the same day with no defects listed, indicating a likely administrative or documentation rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of any flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues, the previous owners appear to have kept the car to a sound standard with no skipped consumable upkeep visible in the data. The clean record suggests basic servicing was maintained rather than deferred. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection before purchase. With no historical advisories, attention should fall on unseen wear not captured by MOT: inspect tyre sidewall condition, brake caliper operation, underbody structural integrity for latent rust, and verify service invoices. The same-day fail-pass in September 2024 warrants a check of the V5C and test certificate to confirm no suppressed defect.
