2009 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · YF09 UKM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding the braking system. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 137,658 miles passed, the tester again flagged fluctuating front service brakes. This is a recurring issue previously noted in the 2025 test at 133,440 miles, indicating that the underlying cause in the rotors or calipers has not been addressed despite multiple inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between January 2024 and 2025, and another 4,200 miles between 2025 and 2026. This regular usage suggests the car is used consistently rather than sitting idle for long periods, which generally benefits the health of rubber components and seals, though it accelerates the natural wear on mechanical parts. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front brake assembly. The repeated reports of fluctuating brakes and scored discs since 2024 suggest the front rotors are likely thinning or warped, and the calipers may be sticking. Furthermore, the 2022 report of binding and thin pads on the nearside rear brake indicates a history of uneven wear across the rear axle. You should check the current state of the rear brakes and tyre alignment, as the 2025 advisory for a worn offside rear tyre suggests potential suspension issues or a previous owner who did not prioritise proactive maintenance.
