Our Verdict
A capable executive cruiser that has pro
Given the high mileage, the primary focus should be on the vehicle's maintenance records. Ensure there is evidence of regular oil changes and check for any record of major component replacements typical for a 3.0L diesel of this age. Use the recurring advisories regarding brake discs and pads as a negotiation point, as these will likely require replacement soon.
Verify the condition of the tyres, as the MOT history shows a pattern of tyres wearing close to the legal limit on both the front and rear axles. A full service history is essential for a vehicle with over 160,000 miles to ensure the engine and drivetrain have been supported throughout its life.
The 2967cc diesel engine provides significant power for motorway cruising but comes with higher taxation and insurance costs than smaller variants. Fuel economy will be typical for a large executive diesel, though efficiency may vary based on the current state of the engine's health at this mileage.
Maintenance costs are expected to be higher for this vehicle due to its age and mileage. Premium replacement parts for the A6, particularly brakes and suspension components, can be expensive. Annual costs will be influenced by the need for high-quality tyres to maintain stability and safety.
Prioritise an inspection of the braking system; the 2026 MOT flagged worn front discs and thin inner pads, following a 2025 advisory for worn rear inner discs. Check the offside rear shock absorber for oil leaks, as 'light misting' was recorded in January 2026, suggesting the component is beginning to fail.
Examine the rear exhaust heat shield to see if it has been secured since the 2026 advisory. Finally, check the tread depth and wear patterns across all four tyres, as the 2022 and 2025 MOTs both noted tyres worn close to the legal limit, specifically on the edges.
This grey 2013 Audi A6 has recorded 162,977 miles, which is notably above the model average. While the vehicle has passed its last five MOT tests, the most recent records from 2025 and 2026 show a trend of increasing advisories related to brake wear, tyre condition, and suspension components.
The Audi A6 has an average MOT pass rate of 85.1%, with tyres and anti-roll bars identified as common failure points across the model range.
