2017 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · WN67 AED

The 2017 Audi A6 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive annual tests, culminating in a recent pass on 7 July 2026—just three months ago at 103,663 miles. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been subjected to either rigorous maintenance or, alternatively, a lack of critical failures that would have triggered advisories or failures. The absence of any recurring issues in the past four years implies that major components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers have not deteriorated to the point of MOT failure. However, the single failure in September 2022 at 62,589 miles—though without recorded defects—raises a minor red flag, as it indicates a test was retaken within a month, though this may have been procedural rather than mechanical. Mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 11,500 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, with the most recent interval covering exactly 15,375 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This regularity suggests consistent driving habits rather than prolonged periods of neglect or excessive wear. The absence of advisories or failures on any test further supports that the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme conditions or abuse that would accelerate component failure. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items that are not always captured in a standard MOT, such as the condition of the suspension mounts, particularly the rear subframe bushes, which are prone to cracking in this model. The brake system—while not flagged—should be scrutinised for uneven wear on discs or pads, as well as the integrity of the brake fluid, which may not have been checked since the last service. Additionally, the underbody should be examined for corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and exhaust system, as these areas are critical for structural integrity and often develop hidden rust over time. The absence of advisories does not preclude gradual degradation in these areas, so visual and tactile inspection is essential.
