2021 Audi RS 6 Crbn BLK Tfsi Mhev Quat A 4.0L Petrol · WM70 RVR

The most recent DVSA MOT test on the 2021 Audi RS6 CRBN, conducted on 2026-09-01, resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects, following a previous MOT on 2025-01-31 that also yielded a pass. However, the advisory issued at the 2024-01-11 test—concerning sidewall damage to the nearside front tyre and a cut but shallow rear offside tyre—suggests a history of either aggressive driving or exposure to road debris that has begun to compromise tyre integrity. While the vehicle has not failed an MOT due to these advisories, their presence indicates a pattern of wear that warrants closer attention, particularly as the tyre tread depth may be approaching the legal minimum (1.6mm) and the sidewall damage could escalate into structural weaknesses if not monitored. The lack of subsequent failures in the intervening year suggests that either the tyres have been replaced or the damage has stabilised, but the buyer should remain vigilant about tyre condition. The recorded mileage of 70,989 miles for a vehicle aged five years represents a high annual usage rate of approximately 14,198 miles per annum, which is notably elevated for its class and age. Such mileage accumulation typically correlates with increased wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch components (if applicable), suspension bushes, and drivetrain seals, as well as accelerated degradation of fluids like brake fluid, differential oil, and transmission fluid. The absence of long periods of inactivity or low-mileage intervals further implies that the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, possibly demanding driving conditions, which could accelerate wear on high-stress components like the front suspension, exhaust system, and electrical systems. The buyer should consider whether the owner’s intended use aligns with this mileage profile, as higher usage often necessitates more frequent servicing and component replacement. Given the advisory history and the vehicle’s age and mileage, the prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection to assess the extent of tyre damage and plan for replacement if necessary. The nearside front tyre’s sidewall damage could indicate prior impact events or prolonged exposure to road hazards, so the buyer should visually inspect the tyre for cracks, bulges, or signs of internal cord damage, and measure the remaining tread depth to ensure compliance with legal requirements. On a test drive, listen for unusual tyre noise or vibration, which may signal uneven wear or internal tyre failure. Additionally, check for any fluid leaks around the wheel arches, particularly under the nearside front wheel, as tyre damage can lead to oil or coolant contamination. For the rear offside tyre, verify that the cut does not extend into the ply or cords, as this would necessitate immediate replacement. Beyond tyres, the buyer should inspect the suspension system for signs of wear or damage, particularly focusing on the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and strut mounts. On the test drive, listen for clunking noises from the front suspension during cornering or over bumps, which may indicate worn or broken suspension components. Check for uneven tyre wear patterns, which could point to misalignment, worn suspension, or binding calipers. Inspect the brake system for signs of corrosion on the discs or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for prolonged periods, as standing corrosion can lead to reduced braking efficiency or even failure. Verify that the brake fluid is clear and free of contamination, and check for any fluid leaks around the brake master cylinder or calipers. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, it is advisable to have the brake system, differential oil, and transmission fluid serviced according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, with the differential oil changed every 60,000 to 80,000 miles and the transmission fluid every 60,000 miles or as specified in the service manual. Lastly, check the 12V battery for signs of corrosion on the terminals and ensure it holds a charge, as high mileage and frequent starts can accelerate battery degradation. If the battery is more than three years old, consider having it tested or replaced to avoid potential electrical issues.
