2007 Audi A6 S Line LE Mans Quatt A 3.0L Heavy oil · WJZ 2887

The most recent MOT, carried out on 21 November 2025, was passed with no recorded defects, following a similar clean result on the previous three annual tests. The only blemish in the five‑year record is a failure on 25 September 2022, which did not list any specific fault, suggesting an administrative or minor safety issue that was rectified before the subsequent test on 30 September 2022. The succession of clean passes since that date indicates a stable maintenance regime and an overall improving trend, provided the owner has kept up with routine servicing. At 164 361 miles the car averages roughly 8 650 miles per year over its 19‑year life, a usage pattern that sits comfortably within the normal range for a mid‑size executive saloon. There are no obvious periods of prolonged inactivity or sudden spikes in mileage that would point to intensive short‑term abuse. Consequently the wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components should be consistent with age rather than extreme mileage, though the cumulative distance does mean that many wear items are likely approaching the end of their design life. For a vehicle of this age the buyer should give particular attention to tyre condition, not just tread depth but also sidewall integrity; cracks, hardening or bulging can develop from age even on low‑kilometre tyres. The 12‑volt battery, now well beyond the typical five‑year service life, should be load‑tested and its terminals inspected for corrosion. All major fluids – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and, if applicable, diesel exhaust fluid – should be sampled for colour and viscosity and replaced if they show signs of oxidation or contamination, as time‑based degradation can occur regardless of mileage. A visual inspection of the engine bay for any oil, coolant or power‑steering leaks, as well as a check that the timing belt or chain has been serviced in line with the manufacturer’s interval, is essential. On the road, listen for any clunk, squeak or knock that could indicate worn suspension bushes, deteriorating coil springs or loose steering rack mounts. Examine the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or uneven wear, and test the pedal for a firm, consistent feel; binding calipers often reveal themselves as a pulsating pedal or a dragging sensation. Because the model is a Quattro‑driven Audi, verify that the front and rear differentials are free of leaks and that the CV joints operate smoothly without clicking on cornering. Finally, if the engine is a diesel, confirm that the diesel particulate filter has been regenerated recently and that there are no excessive smoke or exhaust odor issues, as these are common time‑related concerns on high‑mileage, older diesel units.
