In 2023 UK MOT tests, a 2020 Audi A6 typically showed about 46,449 km (28,862 mi) on the odometer; the middle 80% of readings fell between 23,606 and 86,655 km. Based on 2,063 readings in the DVSA anonymised MOT dataset (Open Government Licence v3.0).

How the 2020 Audi A6 compares

This page's median is 23% higher than the median of medians for the other 2020 models on OdoTrace (37,889 km, n = 40); this comparison set is not the UK fleet. Dividing this page's median by the car's age at the 2023 tests (age in years: 3) gives roughly 15,500 km a year, a simple average derived from the median, not a measured annual distance. This page's readings are spread much like those of the other 2020 models on OdoTrace (n = 40): the 10th to 90th percentile range is 136% of the median, against 150%.

This historical band is not a current-year estimate. Cars have aged since 2023; repeated tests may count the same vehicle more than once.

Where does this car sit?

Enter the odometer reading from a listing to see where it falls for the 2020 Audi A6.

Enter kilometres, for example 120000.

A low reading is a reason to investigate, not proof of a rollback.

UK MOT reliability, reference data from the UK fleet

UK MOT fleet data, a large and well-documented reference fleet. This is UK data, shown here only because the model also carries an EU signal above.

Of 1,905 initial (first-attempt) class 4 MOT tests for 2020 Audi A6 cars in 2023, 8.8% failed. That is higher than the 8.7% median for cars of the same age in this fleet. (Difference: 0.1 percentage points) At the first MOT (age three), 8.8% failed.

Source: DVSA anonymised MOT test results 2023, Open Government Licence v3.0. A UK fleet reference, not a per-car result. The UK MOT record is a large, well-documented reference fleet, clearly labelled as UK data rather than data from your market. It is not a substitute for an inspection.

What this is, and what it is not

These figures show an aggregate distribution for many 2020 Audi A6 cars, computed from UK DVSA MOT odometer readings as a fleet proxy. The MOT dataset is anonymised and contains no VIN or personal data.

It is not a per-VIN history. It cannot tell you the mileage of one specific car or whether a particular odometer was wound back. Use it as a sanity check: a reading far below the typical band for the age is a clue worth investigating, not proof of anything on its own.

For one car, check its VIN to see decoded details and any available odometer records, including a Dutch RDW verdict when you add a number plate. For exactly how this band is computed and every source behind it, see the data methodology.
