2017 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · YT17 FDN

The 2017 Audi A6 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT, recorded on 2025-01-06 at 126,281 miles, which showed no defects. The prior test in 2024-06-04 at 110,473 miles also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT since January 2025, exceeding the standard annual requirement by over 18 months. This gap raises concerns about potential undetected mechanical or safety issues, particularly given the high mileage accumulation. The vehicle’s mileage progression reveals rapid usage, with 57,633 miles in 2023-06 rising to 126,281 by 2025-01—a 68,648-mile increase over 20 months, averaging 3,432 miles monthly. This exceeds typical annual averages and suggests frequent or heavy use, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. Notably, the 2023-12-06 test recorded a failed result at 73,318 miles, though no defects were listed, creating ambiguity about the vehicle’s condition during that period. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often leads to such degradation. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, given the vehicle’s extensive use. The exhaust system and corrosion levels, particularly in body panels, warrant scrutiny, as these are common issues in older vehicles with high mileage. While the MOT history shows no major faults, the lack of recent testing and rapid mileage growth necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
