Overall Comments

This 2013 Audi A6 exhibits substantial mechanical concerns that render it unfit for safe and reliable driving in its current state. Although both the interior and exterior are in reasonably acceptable condition for the vehicle’s age, the presence of multiple dashboard warnings, significant fault codes, active oil leaks, low engine oil levels, and the inability to complete a road test all point to serious underlying issues. Addressing these faults would require considerable repair work and investment.

Interior Comments

The interior of the vehicle is in reasonably good condition considering its age and mileage. Typical wear and tear are present, with notable signs including visible wear on the steering wheel and some trim plastics. Both the carpet and rubber floor mats are included and are in functional condition. No unpleasant or unusual odors were detected during the inspection, suggesting the cabin has been generally well maintained. Overall, the interior reflects use consistent with the vehicle’s mileage, and no major issues or damage were identified.

Exterior Comments

The exterior is in good overall condition with several minor cosmetic imperfections. These include small chips, scratches, and dents distributed across various body panels. Such wear is typical for a vehicle of this age and does not suggest neglect or abuse. The headlights show signs of aging, which may impact nighttime visibility, and the rims exhibit some minor curb rash. Importantly, there is no evidence of substandard or amateur body repair work, which suggests the car has likely not experienced significant previous accident damage.

Mechanical Comments

Several serious mechanical concerns were identified. The dashboard displayed an active check engine light, a service due warning, and a critical “add oil immediately” alert. Diagnostic fault codes included P2006 and P2007, which indicate problems with the intake manifold runner control system, and P0491 and P0492, which point to issues in the secondary air injection system. These faults could result from actuator failures, vacuum leaks, or blocked components, all requiring detailed mechanical inspection and repair.

Visible oil leaks were noted at both valve covers and possibly the rear main seal. Engine oil levels were very low and the oil appeared dark and degraded. While other fluids were at proper levels and in acceptable condition, the tires displayed uneven wear—approximately 35% tread remaining on the front tires and 60% on the rear. Brake pads are in relatively good condition, showing around 80% life remaining. A slight sweat was observed on the passenger-side rear shock absorber, indicating potential early-stage wear.

Test Drive Comments

A full test drive was not performed due to the “add oil immediately” warning, which posed a significant risk of engine damage if driven further. During cold engine startup, a distinct rattling noise was heard from the engine bay. This symptom is consistent with internal mechanical issues, such as worn timing chain guides—an issue known to affect these engines and one that can require major engine disassembly and costly repairs.
