2014 Audi A6 3.0L Diesel · SR64 BVB

The 2014 Audi A6 has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past three MOT cycles, with the most recent test on 14 August 2025 at 95,849 miles resulting in a clean pass. The only notable failure occurred in August 2022, where worn and pitted rear brake discs were identified alongside a minor electrical fault for the front position lamps. Since then, no further defects have been recorded, suggesting that the rear brake discs were either replaced or restored to compliance. The absence of advisories or recurring issues in the latest tests implies that the vehicle has been kept in a stable condition, though the 2022 failure warrants closer scrutiny of the braking system. The recorded mileage progression of approximately 7,987 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, without any abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2022 failure and subsequent pass—just three days—indicates prompt attention to the rear brake discs, though the cause of their wear (e.g., aggressive driving, inadequate maintenance) cannot be determined from the record alone. The regular annual testing cadence suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than left unused, which is generally favourable for suspension and drivetrain longevity. A prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the rear braking system, particularly the discs and calipers, given the 2022 failure. Look for uneven wear, excessive heat discolouration, or binding calipers, which could indicate ongoing issues. The suspension components—including coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should also be examined for corrosion or excessive play, as these are common wear areas for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the MOT record does not flag electrical faults beyond the 2022 lamps, the front lighting system should be tested for reliability, especially if the vehicle has been driven in varied conditions. Finally, check for signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, as this can compromise the vehicle’s integrity over time.
