This 2019 A6 S-Line is a remarkably reliable diesel with a first-time MOT pass rate of 95.1%—well ahead of the UK average of 80%—and no vehicles in the dataset have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is excellent news for buyer safety. The car averages just 0.1 failures per vehicle with virtually no advisories, suggesting Audi's build quality on this generation is holding up very well.

At 60,000 miles median mileage for a five-year-old car, these examples have been driven sensibly and aren't yet at the point where major wear items typically fail. Before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection done anyway—not because these cars are troublesome, but because the absence of advisories suggests owners are maintaining them properly, and you'll want to verify that continues.

The 2019 Audi A6 S Line 40 TDI S A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (96.7% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
