Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 14 years old and 324,680 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
- You are buying your first car or have a tight insurance budget: Spanner flags a higher insurance band. Get your own quote before paying a deposit.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
Most 2012 A6 diesels in manual form are the 2.0 TDI with a 6-speed manual; larger 3.0 TDI engines were more commonly paired with automatics. Common diesel-age issues to watch for are DPF and EGR carbon build-up (especially if the car has mostly short trips), turbo wear, and clutch / dual-mass flywheel wear on manual models. Parts and dealer servicing are widely available in Ireland but cost more than mainstream makes.
- Clutch and dual-mass flywheel: test for slipping, judder or rattling at take-off and on engine start/stop.
- DPF/EGR condition: look for excessive smoke, soot in the tailpipe and ask whether the car has had forced DPF regenerations or EGR cleaning.
- Turbo health: listen for whining or shaft play and check for smoke on hard acceleration.
- Engine oil leaks & consumption: inspect under the engine and around turbo oil feed pipes for leaks and check dipstick for over-frequent top-ups.
- Underbody and suspension mounts: check for corrosion on subframes, rear shock mounts and inner wheel-arches common on older Irish cars.
