2017 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · SG17 ABC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-08-24 at 70,045 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating stable roadworthiness. Previous tests from 2023-08-25 (61,058 miles) and 2022-08-20 (52,720 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. While a failed test is listed for 2023-08-25 at the same mileage, no defects were recorded, implying either a procedural error or a non-critical failure. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural issues over the past four years supports a conclusion of reliable condition. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 9-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,783 miles annually. The 2021-08-14 test at 39,747 miles to the 2024-08-24 test at 70,045 miles shows a steady increase, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. This pattern suggests regular operation rather than extended periods of standing, reducing risks of fluid degradation or component stiffness. The MOT history lacks significant gaps, reinforcing the likelihood of consistent upkeep. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without MOT detection. Brake systems, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as these issues may not trigger immediate failures. Exhaust system integrity and corrosion in body seams should also be checked, as these can develop gradually. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate these risks, as MOT tests focus on safety-critical elements rather than comprehensive mechanical health.
