2014 Audi A6 3.0L Diesel · SL64 EOM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While it passed the February 2026 test at 137,775 miles, this followed a failure just five weeks prior due to critical tyre defects. The recurring presence of a non-excessive oil leak and TPMS warnings across multiple years suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults when they threatened an MOT failure, rather than maintaining the mechanical integrity proactively. At 137,775 miles, this 12-year-old Audi has averaged approximately 11,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for an executive saloon. The data shows a significant spike in activity with over 10,000 miles covered between January 2025 and February 2026. This rapid accumulation puts high strain on high-mileage drivetrain components and suspension, which is evidenced by the deteriorating state of the rubber and the persistent engine-related oil leak noted in the most recent testing cycles. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and alignment. The MOT record consistently flags heavy inner edge wear on the tyres across 2024, 2025, and 2026, indicating a persistent misalignment issue or worn control arm bushes and ball joints. Furthermore, the documented oil leak requires a professional assessment to determine if it is a simple gasket leak or a more significant engine seal failure. Given the age and the perishing noted on the tyres, a full set of new rubber is likely required, and the underlying issues causing the uneven wear must be rectified to avoid immediate recurring costs.
