2015 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · SE65 ABK

This 2015 Audi A6 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across the last five annual tests, most recently passing on 10 November 2025 at 151,131 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has undergone consistent, if not exemplary, servicing during this period. However, the most recent test occurred just six months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age and mileage—given its high annual mileage, a more frequent inspection cycle would be prudent. The lack of any recurring issues implies the previous owner adhered to scheduled maintenance, though the buyer should verify whether critical components like timing belts, suspension bushes, and brake calipers were serviced according to the manufacturer’s intervals rather than relying solely on MOT results. The recorded mileage of 151,131 miles over approximately 11 years equates to an average of 13,739 miles per year, which is unusually high for a vehicle of this age. Between the 2024 and 2025 tests, the car accumulated 14,254 miles in just over a year, indicating active use rather than prolonged storage. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where 16,434 miles were covered in a year—suggesting either heavy usage or a period of neglect before consistent maintenance resumed. While the MOT record shows no failings, this high mileage demands scrutiny of high-wear items such as coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs, as these components degrade more rapidly under such conditions. Given the clean MOT history, the buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension geometry, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes—though never failed—should be checked for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs, as high mileage can accelerate pad and rotor degradation. The exhaust system warrants inspection for leaks or excessive corrosion, especially around the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, which are common failure points in Audi models of this era. Additionally, the underbody should be examined for structural rust, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, as prolonged exposure to road salt or poor maintenance can compromise the chassis. While the MOT record provides reassurance, these areas require hands-on verification to confirm they have been properly maintained.
