This 2022 Audi A6 passes its MOT on first attempt just 73% of the time, falling notably short of the UK average of 80%—a real concern for a vehicle this new and expensive. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare at 3.3%, so safety isn't the primary worry; instead, you're looking at a car prone to minor niggles that require a second test.

At 37,500 miles average for a two-year-old car, these are typically low-mileage examples, yet they're still picking up 0.6 advisories per vehicle on average, suggesting some quality control issues early in the model's life. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on emissions systems and suspension components—the most common failure points on diesel Audis—rather than assuming "nearly new" means trouble-free.
