2013 Audi A6 3.0L Diesel · YT63 GTY

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-07 recorded two suspension-related issues: worn nearside and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes, both classified as non-urgent but requiring monitoring. These defects suggest progressive wear in the front suspension system, which could affect handling or safety if left unaddressed. No other defects were noted in this test, but the pattern of issues over the past four years reveals a recurring focus on tyre wear and suspension components. A consistent trend of tyres approaching or reaching the legal limit has been recorded since 2022, with offside front tyres flagged in 2022, nearside rear in 2023, and offside front again in 2024. This indicates potential irregular tyre wear, possibly linked to suspension misalignment, uneven weight distribution, or driving habits. While the 2025 MOT did not mention tyre issues, the absence of this defect does not confirm resolution—tyre wear can resurface quickly if underlying causes persist. The suspension arm bush wear in 2025 is a new defect, but the earlier tyre issues suggest a broader pattern of component stress. The vehicle’s high mileage (234,802 miles over 13 years, or ~18,062 miles annually) implies frequent use, which accelerates wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension parts. However, the lack of major defects in the 2021 MOT and the intermittent nature of later issues suggest the condition has remained relatively stable, with no clear worsening trend. The high mileage relative to age raises concerns about long-term wear on critical systems, including the drivetrain, brakes, and steering.
