2017 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · ST67 DXG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT on 29 September 2025 at 138,337 miles. However, the maintenance trend reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach. The car failed just one mile prior to that test due to excessively worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms. While these were addressed to achieve the pass, the recurring issues suggest that components are only replaced once they reach failure limits rather than during scheduled servicing. At 138,337 miles over nine years, this Audi A6 has covered a high average of approximately 15,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent high usage, with nearly 22,000 miles logged between October 2023 and September 2024, and another 18,500 miles in the year following that. This high rate of mileage accumulation puts significant stress on the drivetrain and heavy suspension components, which is reflected in the frequent mechanical failures recorded. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry and bushings, as the control arm failure in 2025 indicates these rubber components may degrade rapidly under high miles. The history also shows a pattern of neglected brake maintenance, with thin pads and worn discs flagged in 2022, 2023, and 2024. The buyer should check for uneven pad wear or signs of binding calipers, as the previous owner consistently waited until parts were near critical failure before replacement. Tyre management is another recurring concern, with all four tyres flagged as being near the legal limit in both 2022 and 2023. This history suggests a lack of basic preventative upkeep. Any physical inspection should verify the current tread depth and check for uneven wear patterns which would indicate alignment issues resulting from the previously noted suspension arm failures.
