Our Verdict
This 2018 Audi A6 presents a low‑risk pr
When viewing the car, ask the seller to remove any engine covers and undertrays so a full visual inspection of the engine bay and under‑body can be carried out. Verify that the air‑freshener noted on the interior mirror has been removed, as it may indicate a superficial attempt to hide interior wear. Request a full service history to confirm regular oil changes and timing belt or chain maintenance, which are not captured by MOT records.
The Audi A6's 2.0‑litre diesel engine is known for good fuel efficiency but can be sensitive to oil quality and turbo health. Look for any signs of oil leaks, excessive smoke, or abnormal noises during a test drive. Because the MOT notes mention restricted access, ensure a qualified mechanic conducts a thorough inspection, focusing on the concealed parts such as the turbocharger, intercooler pipes, and suspension mounting points.
Negotiation points include the modest mileage advantage and the clean MOT history, which can justify a price at or slightly above market average. However, factor in any potential cost to remove the engine covers and undertrays, and any subsequent detailed inspection findings that may arise.
The 2.0 L diesel engine typically delivers around 55‑60 mpg (imperial) in mixed driving, placing fuel costs at roughly £600‑£750 per year based on average UK diesel prices and 10,000 miles of annual use. Road tax for a diesel engine of this size falls into Band C (£165 per year) under current rates.
Insurance for a 2018 Audi A6 diesel usually sits in Group 30‑31, translating to an annual premium of about £500‑£650 depending on driver profile. Routine maintenance, including oil changes, brake servicing and tyre replacement, averages £250‑£350 per year for this model. Adding these elements gives an estimated annual running cost in the region of £1,500‑£1,800.
Pay particular attention to the engine bay areas that were obscured by the fitted engine covers during the MOT. A mechanic should check the condition of the turbocharger, intercooler hoses, and any coolant or oil pipes that were not visible. Look for signs of oil leaks, corrosion, or cracked hoses that could indicate hidden wear.
The undertrays noted in the MOT history also hide portions of the under‑body and suspension components. Inspect the suspension arms, bushings, and anti‑roll bar links for wear, as these are among the top MOT failure reasons for the model (suspension arm). Ensure the undertrays can be removed to allow a full visual check of the chassis and exhaust system.
Inside the cabin, verify that the air‑freshener on the interior mirror has been removed and that the interior trim shows no excessive wear or damage. Check the operation of all lighting, as headlamp failures are a common MOT issue for this model, even though none were recorded for this vehicle.
The vehicle has a clean MOT record across five tests from 2022 to 2026, with no defects noted. At 65,807 miles it sits below the model's expected average mileage of around 73,500 miles for an eight‑year‑old car. The grey diesel A6 benefits from a solid reputation, reflected in the 84.9% average pass rate for the model. However, recent MOT notes mention engine covers and undertrays that limit visual inspection of certain components.
The Audi A6 model records an average MOT pass rate of 84.9%, indicating generally reliable performance across the fleet.
