Our Verdict
Proceed with caution on this 2017 Audi A
Given the 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine, this is almost certainly a performance-oriented Audi A6 variant (likely an S6 or RS6), and buyers should approach accordingly. The engine itself is complex, with known issues around oil consumption and timing chain wear on higher-mileage examples, so an independent compression test and oil consumption check would be wise. The MOT failures here are exclusively tyre-related, which is a comparatively benign issue, but it does suggest the car may have been driven hard or on poor roads. Inspect all four tyres closely for uneven wear, which can indicate alignment or suspension issues, and check that any replacement tyres match the original specification, particularly given the performance focus of this engine. A full Audi specialist service history would significantly strengthen your confidence; without it, budget for immediate servicing including fresh oil, filters, and brake fluid.
Running a 4.0-litre V8 petrol Audi is an expensive proposition. Fuel economy in real-world use is likely to be in the high teens to low twenties mpg, meaning fuel alone could cost £3,000-£4,000 annually depending on mileage. Road tax for a petrol vehicle registered between 2017 and 2026 falls in the higher bands, likely £300-£600 per year given the engine size and CO2 output. Insurance will be substantial: performance variants of the A6 typically sit in groups 40-50, which can mean £1,500-£2,500 annually for a typical driver. Servicing at an Audi specialist will cost £500-£900 per visit, and major items like brake discs and pads, tyres, and timing-related work can easily run into four-figure sums. Estimated total annual cost: £4,500-£6,000.
The MOT record highlights tyre cuts as the recurring issue, so begin your inspection by checking all four tyres and the spare for damage, age (look for DOT date codes), and tread depth. Examine the front suspension components including control arms, anti-roll bar links, and bushings, as the model's aggregate data flags anti-roll bar issues as a common failure point. Given the high mileage of 101,763 miles, pay close attention to the engine for signs of oil leaks around the cam covers, chain covers, and sump; also check the oil level on the dipstick and note any blue smoke from the exhaust on start-up. The 4.0-litre V8 is also known for carbon build-up on the intake valves, so a borescope inspection through the intake is worthwhile if accessible. Finally, check the headlamps for condensation and operation, as the model-level data flags this as a common MOT failure area.
This blue Audi A6 was first registered in May 2017 and is powered by a 4.0-litre petrol engine, indicating the high-performance S6 or RS6 variant rather than the standard diesel saloon. The MOT history shows five tests, of which two resulted in failures, with both failures and one advisory all relating to tyre condition rather than mechanical or structural issues. Mileage at the most recent test in June 2026 stood at 101,763 miles, which is notably high for a nine-year-old vehicle. Overall, the mechanical record is clean, but the mileage and tyre history warrant careful evaluation.
The Audi A6 model aggregate shows an 85.2% MOT pass rate, which is broadly in line with the overall UK vehicle average but slightly behind some rivals. The most common failure points are headlamp issues, tyres, and anti-roll bar components, which aligns with the observations in this vehicle's record.
