2019 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · WH68 ABO

The most recent MOT on 2 May 2025 was passed with no recorded defects, and the preceding three annual tests (2024‑05‑13, 2024‑01‑22 and 2023‑01‑21) also resulted in passes with clean sheets. The lone failure recorded on 20 January 2024 did not list any specific fault, suggesting a procedural or administrative issue rather than a mechanical problem. Overall the MOT trend is stable, with no recurring or worsening defects evident in the official record. At 95,342 miles the 2019 Audi A6 has accumulated roughly 13,600 miles per year, well above the UK average of around 8‑10 k miles annually. This level of usage indicates the vehicle has been driven regularly and likely subjected to more frequent wear on tyres, brake components, suspension bushings and engine oil. There are no large mileage gaps that would hint at prolonged periods of standing, so the wear is probably consistent rather than the result of intermittent neglect. For a prospective buyer the first visual checks should focus on tyre condition – examine tread depth, sidewall cracking and any signs of dry rot that can develop with age even on relatively low‑profile performance tyres. Verify that the tyre pressures are correct and that the wheels are free of wobble, which could point to worn wheel bearings. Inspect the brake discs and pads for surface scoring, rust build‑up or uneven wear; a pulsating pedal or squealing on deceleration would confirm the need for resurfacing or pad replacement. Examine the suspension for any play in the control arm bushes, worn shock absorbers or leaking struts, as high mileage can accelerate fatigue in these components, often manifested as clunking noises over bumps. Given the vehicle’s age, also check the 12 V battery for terminal corrosion and test its cranking voltage, as batteries tend to lose capacity after five years regardless of mileage. Confirm that the service book shows regular oil and filter changes at the manufacturer‑specified intervals, and that the timing chain or belt (depending on the engine variant) has been inspected or replaced as required. Finally, look for any signs of fluid degradation – dark or milky coolant, oily residue around the engine bay, and the condition of the brake fluid (should be clear and not cloudy). If any of these items are overdue, budgeting for a full service, brake fluid flush and possibly a tyre set would be prudent before committing to purchase.
