2012 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · VK12 PBY

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, as evidenced by a clean MOT pass in March 2026 at 201,400 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory. While earlier tests identified recurring wear and minor electrical faults, the three most recent annual inspections have resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This suggests that the previous owner has addressed outstanding mechanical concerns and is currently maintaining the vehicle to a passing standard. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent, heavy-duty use, with 17,000 miles recorded between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 16,904 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This steady accumulation indicates the car performs motorway miles rather than short city trips, which typically places different stresses on drivetrain and suspension components compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension assembly given the history of wear. The tests in 2022 and 2023 both flagged thin front and rear brake pads, and while these were likely replaced since, the buyer should verify the current thickness and check the discs for scoring or uneven wear. Additionally, the 2022 advisory regarding damaged ABS wiring rubbing against the drive shaft requires a visual re-check to ensure the harness is now secured and the insulation has not suffered further abrasion. At over 200,000 miles, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is also essential to identify signs of fatigue that the MOT test may not fully capture.
