2012 Audi A6 3.0L Diesel · WD12 PYS

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following recent reactive repairs. The most recent MOT test on 4 December 2023 at 144,777 miles passed with no recorded defects, successfully resolving a failure just three days prior. That previous failure resulted from a missing nearside front road wheel fixing, a minor mechanical oversight that was addressed immediately. Since that point, the vehicle has maintained a clean record, suggesting the owner monitors basic safety requirements. At 144,777 miles over 14 years, the Audi A6 averages approximately 10,341 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 8,200 miles driven between the 2021 and 2022 tests, and approximately 11,200 miles between November 2022 and December 2023. This regularity suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which helps preserve rubber components and prevents seals from drying out. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension and tyres, as the failure in November 2021 revealed a worn nearside tyre and exposed cords on the offside front. These specific wear patterns often indicate poor alignment or worn suspension bushes that can lead to uneven tyre degradation. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection of the control arm bushings, shock absorbers, and brake lines is essential. While the MOT record shows no current structural advisories, the age and mileage of the vehicle necessitate a thorough check for corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting points.
