2014 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · SO64 CXV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive service pattern rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 112,125 miles passed, it failed just weeks prior due to an inoperative engine management indicator light. This suggests a significant electronic or sensor fault that was only addressed immediately before the re-test. The overall trend is inconsistent, as mechanical components appear to be replaced only after failing an MOT test rather than being serviced during scheduled intervals. The recorded mileage of 112,125 miles over twelve years averages to approximately 9,344 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a premium executive saloon of this age. The data shows consistent use over time, with 16,376 miles driven between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 18,330 miles in the following year. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which explains the standard wear on rubber components and braking systems seen in the test results. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension assembly. The nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover was flagged as severely deteriorated in both April 2025 and May 2026, indicating a failure to replace the component despite repeated warnings. Furthermore, the offside front CV boot was noted as misted in May 2026, which requires immediate inspection to prevent grease loss and subsequent catastrophic failure of the drive joint. The braking system also shows a lack of preventative maintenance, evidenced by rear brake pads being found wearing thin in 2024. The buyer should verify the current condition of the rear discs and calipers to ensure no glazing or uneven wear has occurred. Given the recent failure regarding the engine management light in May 2026, a diagnostic scan is essential to ensure no hidden fault codes remain in the engine control unit that could indicate deeper sensor or emission-related issues.
