Hi
Great looking car and spec.
Advisory for front discs, potentially £2.5k cost ?
Fronts look pretty scored/worn and rears don't look much better.
Anything else pending to be done?
Regards Andy
The MOT tester's comment is somewhat misleading. All 4 discs are well below safe minimum (wear markers completely gone!) and will need immediate replacement. Think £3k.Great looking car and spec.

Questions:
The blister on door in photos, is this the only one? Anything on the rear doors or coming through underneath the PPF?
MOT notes damage to two tyres, can you provide photos or have they since been replaced?
Has it been smoked in or modified?
Is there any vibration at speed through either steering wheel or brake pedal?

Lovely cars but I just watch RE Performance and that's enough to put me off as I couldn't stomach the maintenance costs of a vehicle like this old and complexity. Otherwise I'd like one for a weekend blast but it would be wasting away on the drive worried about putting miles on it etc.
Same with much of the Audi RS stuff...great whilst still in Audi warranty.
Great for business owners buying thru a company.
How much would you realistically need as a yearly maintenance and contingency fund??

Hi, apologies for the late reply to questions. I am away at the moment but back tomorrow so I can check on the ones I don’t know the answer to then.
Answers I do know:
Road Tax was £395 last time round. Not sure if that is the same every year going forward.
The blister on the door is the only one I am aware of. I will have a closer look at the PPF areas but other than that discolouration you get with older PPF I think they are fine. They probably need removing or replacing.
My understanding of the MOT mentions of the tyre ‘damage’ is that it is small nicks in the sidewalls. Latest service gives treads depths and doesn’t mention damage or suggest replacement.
It has not been smoked in or modified in any way.
No vibration at any speed from wheel or brake pedal. It has been mechanically fantastic and I’m struggling to think of any issues we have had at all but please check service pictures.
Yes, I have the parcel shelf and separate roll down divider.
Don’t know the answer on discs and pads off the top of my head. I will check the history paper work tomorrow and let you know.
Thanks for interest and bids.

10/2020 brakes were checked mileage was documented as 28,648
12/2023 the service recorded the pad thicknesses as front 6 & 7mm ‘good’ and rears 6mm ‘good’ mileage was documented as 47,985

Follow up to previous questions there are no more blisters anywhere on the car nor paint issues undetr the PPF (which is only the small factory fitted sections on and behind/below rear doors).
My inspection uncovered a scrape on the lower side skirt of the passenger side along with 3 small paint chips. The scrape is not very visible as it's on the section that is beyond vertical (i.e. facing down). The area is that shown in pictures 87 & 88. Close up pictures below.

Looks like a well cared for example. While I prefer things with a roundel, a tailgate and an M badge, exotic machinery like this is getting rarer and needs to be appreciated for what it is, before it's gone.
Seeing the un-BAT like comments, and in defence of the seller, anyone who bothers to put Michelin PS 4S on and keep on top of the servicing deserves some credit. Saying that because 2015 isn't old and this is an RS6 with postcode changing power not some diesel shopping trolley so you have to expect upkeep as for 'I am Maximus' not some old nag.
That said anyone serious surely must take a test drive because how they drive can vary.https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/imgs/10.gif
