A meticulously maintained, two-owner example of Audi’s thrilling ‘super estate’. Under the bonnet is a 4.2-litre twin-turbocharged V8, delivering 444bhp and 413lb-ft of torque to all four wheels through a five-speed ZF automatic transmission. This RS6 is offered with a comprehensive maintenance history, and the original DRC suspension system has been replaced with KW V3 fully adjustable coilovers. The cam belt was renewed in December 2021, and the drive shafts were serviced in January 2021. This RS6 is finished in the ever-popular hue of Daytona Grey metallic over a black leather-trimmed cabin punctuated by wood veneer inlays. It rides on the correct set of 19-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, shod with recently fitted Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres. Included in the factory specification are front and rear parking sensors, heated and electrically adjustable Recaro front seats, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, electric windows and folding mirrors, electrically adjustable steering column, electric rear sunblind, manual side rear sunblinds, central infotainment unit with satellite navigation and TV, a Bose sound system with 6CD changer, a solar panel sunroof, and switchable ESP stability control. The Audi Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) suspension was replaced by the previous owner in 2013 with KW Variant 3 fully adjustable coilovers. The car comes with its owner’s book pack, service history, various receipts and invoices, and toolkit. The cherished registration ‘DH 005’ is not included. There is no known bodywork damage. The original Daytona Grey paintwork is described by the vendor as being in excellent overall condition, with only a few minor imperfections commensurate with the age and mileage of the vehicle. These include some small stone chips on the bonnet and the rear wheel arch, and a couple of small marks on the driver’s door handle and the leading edge of the driver’s door sill. The alloy wheels are very smart and display just a couple of minor cosmetic blemishes. Moving inside, the original leather upholstery is in good condition overall, save for some general age-related creasing on the seats, a surface layer ’tear’ in the edge of the front passenger seat centre, a few scuffs on the door cards, and wear on some of the switches and around the ignition key barrel. No electrical or mechanical faults are reported. The owner reports that the car’s most recent roadworthiness test was performed on 4 April 2021, which it passed with no warnings or advisories. This RS6 Avant was last serviced December 2021 at 124,139 kilometres by Audi specialist Northside Autohaus, who changed the engine oil and filter, cam belt, and water pump. They also performed a gearbox service and serviced the air conditioning system. Prior to this, a vehicle inspection and major service was carried out in January 2021 at 118,708km, which included renewing the engine oil and filter, air filter, pollen filter, spark plugs, rear brake discs and pads, brake fluid, differential flange seal and drive shafts. A minor service was performed in April 2019 at 113,25km, when the vehicle was inspected and the engine oil and filter were changed. Four new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres were fitted in February 2020 at 115,22km. The battery was replaced in September 2019, and the front brakes were upgraded with cross-drilled AP Racing discs and Ferodo DS2500 pads in June 2019. The DRC system was replaced in 2008 by Audi under warranty due to a hydraulic fluid leak. This happened again in 2013, when the then-owner replaced the suspension with KW Variant 3 fully adjustable coilovers.
