2019 Audi A6 S Lne Blk Ed 40 TDI Quat SA

CarHunch analysed 138 real MOT records for the 2019 Audi A6 S Lne Blk Ed 40 TDI Quat SA. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2019 Audi A6 is a genuinely reliable performer, with an 89% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%—and importantly, dangerous defects show up in only 18% of vehicles, which is below the concern threshold. The diesel engine here is doing its job properly across the fleet.

At 46,500 miles average for a 2019 model, these cars are running typical mileage, and the low failure rate of 0.38 per vehicle tells you the major systems are holding up. The higher advisory count of 3.3 per test mainly reflects wear items and minor niggles rather than structural problems—normal for a premium German diesel. If you're considering one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the transmission and suspension components, as those advisories tend to cluster there, but the overall picture is solid.

What to check before buying a 2019 Audi A6 S Lne Blk Ed 40 TDI Quat SA

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
