Introduction
Colin Bashford
The RS6 Avant combines blistering performance from its 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with enough practicality to carry even the kitchen sink.
Few cars manage to blend supercar performance with everyday practicality quite as convincingly as the 2016 Audi RS6 Avant. At first glance it's an understated executive estate, equally at home on the school run or parked outside a business meeting. Press the starter button, however, and it reveals an entirely different character, delivering relentless acceleration, immense grip and a soundtrack that reminds you this is no ordinary family car.
Representing the pinnacle of Audi's C7 A6 range, the RS6 Avant combines a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 with Audi's legendary quattro all-wheel-drive system, creating a machine that feels just as capable on a twisting B-road as it does devouring motorway miles. Despite its remarkable pace, it remains comfortable, refined and spacious enough to carry five adults and a week's worth of luggage, making it one of the most complete performance cars of its generation.
The RS6 has long held a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts, and the C7 generation elevated the formula even further by pairing devastating real-world performance with everyday usability and subtle styling. It isn't a car that shouts for attention, but those who know exactly what those flared wheel arches, oval exhaust tips and discreet RS badges represent understand they're looking at something rather special.
Whether you're seeking an exhilarating drivers' car, a capable long-distance cruiser or simply one of the finest fast estates ever built, the 2016 Audi RS6 Avant proves you really can have it all.
This car comes from four and a half years ownership with our vendor with ~57,785 miles on the clock, it has had a recent service on 17.07.2026 and comes with a current MOT valid until 03.01.2027.

Thank you Andrew!
Sorry – one other thing. I see the past couple of MOTs have quite a few advisories for worn tyres and brake components – have any of these been addressed?
Hi Andrew, I’m seriously considering bidding on the RS6, but just wanted to clarify a few points:
Does it have DRC, and is it currently functioning correctly? Has any DRC/suspension work been required?
Are there any known/current issues or warning lights, particularly with the engine, turbos, injectors, cooling system or gearbox?
Have any other significant/expensive repairs or replacements been carried out, and is there anything you’re aware may need attention in the near future?
Overall, would you say everything is currently working as it should?
I’m mainly trying to get a clear picture of its condition and any potentially significant expenditure approaching. Thanks!
Car has adaptive air suspension with dynamic control via MMI, all works well. Car had no faults, excellent service history, Audi recall completed 2 years ago to replace turbo oil strainer. All new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres. I’ll replace front discs and pads which were advisory on mot if acceptable offer received. Otherwise car is immaculate and full working order. Cannot think of any other expenditure needed. Hope this helps.
That’s really helpful, thank you Andrew. Just to clarify – by acceptable offer do you mean if the reserve is met?
