2010 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · VN60 EAP

The Audi A6 presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 9 September 2025 at 143,659 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared every annual test from 3 September 2022 through 3 August 2024 without advisories, and the most recent pass shows no defects. A single failure on 16 August 2025 at 143,650 miles is anomalous, as the DVSA record lists no defects against that test, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages close to 8,979 miles against the car's 16-year life, a typical use profile for a 2010 executive saloon. The odometer moved from 122,044 miles on 3 September 2022 to 128,571 on 19 August 2023, then 136,114 on 3 August 2024, and 143,659 by September 2025. The increments of roughly 6,500 to 7,500 miles per year show no rapid accumulation or prolonged standing. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work across the period. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, the previous owner appears to have maintained the car to a basic pass standard. The unexplained failure in August 2025 warrants a check of the VOSA failure sheet if retrievable, though the immediate re-test pass one month later with no defects implies resolution was minor or procedural. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust, as MOT passes at this age do not confirm freedom from developing corrosion. Examine brake calipers for binding, confirm tyre tread and sidewall condition, and verify the exhaust emissions system, since none were flagged but all are common wear points on a 143,000-mile Audi A6.
