2016 Audi A6 3.0L Diesel · SW16 XGY

The 2016 Audi A6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 March 2026 at 71,195 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 71,195 miles against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,120 miles per year which is typical for the age. The test on 27 January 2023 captured 49,525 miles, rising to 52,254 miles by 2 March 2024, then 61,046 miles on 5 March 2025 and 71,195 miles on 4 March 2026. Annual accumulation held between roughly 2,700 and 10,000 miles with no abnormal gaps or sudden surges. The DVSA record is sparse and clean, showing only a failed entry on 2 March 2024 at 52,254 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same date, suggesting an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the low annual use may mask perished rubber or corroded components from standing periods. The absence of advisories across five years implies previous owners kept basic consumable wear in check, but MOT passes alone do not confirm underside structural integrity or intermittent binding brakes. Prior to purchase, verify the 2 March 2024 failure reason with DVLA records and inspect for structural rust at chassis mounting points. The clean history supports confident roadworthiness, yet a pre-sale mechanical check remains prudent on a ten-year-old executive saloon.
