2010 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · WV10 TZW

The 2010 Audi A6 with 115,894 miles is currently roadworthy following its 2025-06-03 MOT, which recorded no defects. However, the maintenance history reveals a pattern of inconsistent testing, with two consecutive failures in 2024-06-06 and 2024-06-07 at nearly identical mileages (115,488 and 115,489 miles). These failures, though without recorded defects, suggest potential issues with diagnostic consistency or minor unresolved faults. The 2023 tests at 110,553 miles also included a failure and a pass on the same day, further indicating possible recurring concerns. While the latest test confirms compliance, the prior instability raises questions about the vehicle’s mechanical reliability. The mileage progression shows an average of 7,243 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for a 16-year-old vehicle. Notably, the 2023-06-14 test at 110,553 miles was followed by a sharp increase to 115,489 miles by 2024-06-07, a 4,936-mile jump in 12 months. This acceleration may reflect heavier usage or irregular maintenance intervals. The subsequent 2025 test at 115,894 miles shows minimal mileage gain (405 miles), suggesting the vehicle may have been parked or driven sparingly in the final year. The sparse defect records across all tests limit insight into specific mechanical wear, but the lack of recurring issues in the latest MOT implies temporary fixes or resolved problems. A buyer should prioritize a hands-on inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear points in older Audis. The absence of recorded brake or exhaust defects in the 2025 test is reassuring, but the 2024 failures warrant scrutiny of brake components, including calipers and discs, for binding or corrosion. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or panel damage could affect long-term reliability. Given the inconsistent MOT outcomes, a qualified mechanic’s assessment is crucial to confirm the vehicle’s current condition and address any unresolved concerns from prior tests.
