2021 Audi A6 Sport 40 Tfsi Mhev S-A 2.0L Petrol · YS21 FXU

This Audi A6 Sport 40 TFSI MHEV presents a clean MOT history, with both recent tests—June 2024 at 7,829 miles and August 2025 at 13,055 miles—passing without any advisories or defects. The absence of recurring faults or escalating issues suggests the vehicle has been well maintained under its current ownership, at least in terms of the core roadworthiness checks conducted during MOTs. The most recent test, just over a year ago, confirms no binding brakes, corroded suspension components, or structural integrity concerns, which is particularly notable given the car’s hybrid powertrain and premium build quality. However, the short interval between tests—only 14 months—means the next MOT is now overdue, and a buyer should verify whether any non-MOT-related maintenance (e.g., fluid top-ups, tyre rotations) has been neglected during this gap. The mileage of 13,055 miles over five years is exceptionally low, averaging just 2,611 miles annually, which is well below the UK fleet average for a vehicle of this age. This could indicate infrequent use, extended periods of inactivity, or even odometer discrepancies—though the consistent gap between tests (5,226 miles in 14 months) suggests the latter is unlikely. Low mileage typically reduces wear on consumables like brake pads, tyres, and clutch components, but it may also mask hidden issues if fluids (coolant, brake fluid, differential oil) have degraded while the car sat unused. The lack of MOT advisories in this period is reassuring, but a buyer should cross-check service records for evidence of regular fluid changes and battery health checks, especially given the hybrid system’s reliance on high-voltage components. Given the absence of MOT advisories, priority should be placed on non-MOT items that could degrade during low-mileage storage. Inspect the hybrid battery cooling system for any signs of corrosion or fluid leaks, as these can develop even with minimal driving. Check the condition of the 12V battery and starter motor, which may have been underused. Suspension components—such as coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings—should be probed for stiffness or corrosion, as these can weaken without regular movement. While the brakes passed without comment, a manual check for uneven pad wear or seized calipers is prudent, particularly if the car has spent long periods stationary. Finally, verify that all fluid levels (engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, power steering) are correct and that no rubber hoses or seals show signs of drying or cracking. The clean MOT history is a strong starting point, but low mileage can sometimes hide deferred maintenance.
