2014 Audi A6 3.0L Diesel · W88 SCB

The 2014 Audi A6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 January 2026 at 128,672 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this clean result follows four consecutive annual passes with zero advisories or failures. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition across the available five-year MOT window. Annual mileage has tracked close to typical use for a twelve-year-old executive saloon. The record shows 86,370 miles at the 5 January 2022 test, rising to 99,010 by 11 January 2023, 109,089 by 3 January 2024, 121,291 by 9 January 2025, and 128,672 by the 2026 test. That equates to roughly 10,700 miles per year with no abrupt accumulation or unexplained gaps. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing only clean passes, which suggests either disciplined upkeep or limited formal scrutiny of wear items between tests. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as these components accrue fatigue invisibly between MOT dates and the record offers no advisory trail to confirm their condition. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes warrants physical checks given the vehicle's age, despite no tester flags in the history. The absence of recorded advisories across 42,000 miles of use does not exempt the car from consumable replacement. Tyres, wiper blades, and fluid intervals remain the owner's responsibility outside the test bay. Treat the clean MOT lineage as evidence of passed statutory checks, not a substitute for a pre-purchase mechanical assessment.
