2010 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · YC60 FML

A persistent pattern of recurring minor defects and wear-and-tear advisories defines this vehicle's history, particularly regarding the windscreen and front-end consumables. While the vehicle passed its most recent inspection on 2026-03-26, the record shows a long-term trend of repetitive issues, including chronic registration plate lamp failures and recurring tyre wear. The presence of these same minor faults across multiple years suggests a cycle of wear that is frequently noted but not always permanently resolved. The recorded mileage of 158,230 miles is typical for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,889 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the testing record between November 2020 and November 2023, which may indicate a period of reduced usage or a disruption in the testing cycle. Given the total mileage, there is an expected level of wear on the drivetrain, suspension components, and various rubber bushings consistent with a high-mileage executive saloon. Attention should be directed toward the front suspension and braking system during a physical inspection. The anti-roll bar linkage pins and bushes have been flagged as worn in both 2019 and 2025, which typically manifests as knocking or clicking sounds when driving over uneven road surfaces or during low-speed cornering. Additionally, the front brake discs were noted as worn, pitted, or scored in 2020 and again in 2025, so the buyer should feel for any pedal judder or pulsation under braking. The windscreen has been recorded as damaged in nearly every test since 2019, requiring a close inspection for cracks or chips that may compromise visibility. Current tyre condition is also a priority, as the offside front tyre was specifically noted as worn close to the legal limit in March 2026, following a history of front tyre advisories and a dangerous failure for tread depth in 2018. A thorough check of the registration plate lighting is also necessary given the frequency of these minor failures.
