2022 Audi A6 Sport 40 Tfsi Mhev S-A 2.0L Petrol · YP22 AAJ

The most recent MOT on 13 April 2026 was passed, with the only recorded items being advisories concerning tyre tread depth on the off‑side rear and near‑side front wheels, both approaching the legal minimum. The previous test a year earlier was also a clean pass with no defects noted. This pattern indicates a generally stable maintenance record, with the vehicle having avoided any major failures or safety‑critical faults, but it does highlight that tyre wear is now the principal concern and should be addressed promptly to maintain roadworthiness. At 39,926 miles recorded for a 2022 model, the car averages just under 10 000 miles per annum, which sits squarely within the typical UK usage envelope for a saloon of this class. There are no obvious mileage gaps that would suggest prolonged periods of inactivity, nor is there evidence of unusually high annual mileage that would accelerate wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch components or suspension bushings. Consequently, the wear levels observed on the tyres are more likely a function of driving style and possibly alignment rather than excessive mileage alone. Prospective buyers should inspect the condition of all four tyres, not only for tread depth but also for sidewall cracking, age‑related perishing and any signs of uneven wear that could point to mis‑alignment, worn suspension bushes or failing camber/caster settings. During a test drive listen for any clunking or creaking from the front or rear suspension, especially when encountering bumps, and feel for any pull or vibration that may indicate tyre or wheel imbalance. If the tyres are close to the legal limit, replacement is advisable before the next MOT, and a wheel‑alignment check should be performed to prevent premature wear on the new set. Given the vehicle is now four years old, additional age‑related checks are prudent. Verify the health of the 12‑volt battery, as electrolyte depletion and reduced cranking power become common after three to four years; a load test or a professional inspection can confirm remaining capacity. Examine the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or glazing, and ensure the pads have sufficient thickness, as the car’s mild‑hybrid system may place intermittent regenerative loads on the braking system. Finally, confirm that the engine oil, coolant and brake fluid have been changed at the recommended intervals – typically every 12 months or 10 000 miles for oil, and every two years for brake fluid – and look for any signs of fluid leaks around the valve cover, oil pan or rear sub‑frame, which could indicate emerging seal wear. A full service book review and a visual inspection of under‑body corrosion will round out a thorough pre‑purchase appraisal.
