2014 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · SD60 LEY

The 2026‑02‑11 MOT at 125,807 miles confirms the 2014 Audi A6 remains roadworthy, yet the maintenance trend shows a worsening mechanical condition rather than stability, with recurring suspension and brake faults evident across multiple tests. Mileage has risen roughly 10,500 miles per year since 2017, a pace typical for a 12‑year‑old vehicle, with the only notable gap being the two‑year interval between the July 2019 and February 2021 tests; the steady climb from 113,215 miles in February 2025 to 125,807 miles in February 2026 indicates consistent usage. Recurring faults include worn suspension arm pins and bushes on both front and rear axles, repeatedly pitted or scored brake discs on all corners, thin rear brake pads, tyres showing edge wear and perishing, and a 2017 child‑seat fitment that limited adult belt inspection together with a damaged gearbox tray; a buyer should therefore examine suspension play, verify disc thickness and surface condition, assess tyre tread and sidewall integrity, inspect the chassis for rust or structural damage, and confirm that any child‑seat mounting does not compromise adult belt access. Although the vehicle passed the latest test, the pattern of repeated mechanical wear suggests that preventative maintenance may have been neglected, so a thorough in‑person inspection focusing on these components is essential before purchase.
