Always worth while checking especially with a car like this. Cheers V!per ..

Still wondering what it could be though, piston rings, oil leaking back into intake somewhere??????

The garage that has the car still says there is no issues with it. And it also comes with warranty (although not sure how much that's worth on a 13 year old RS6)

Should this be a car i should just walk away from??

I would do this:

Google the trader's address to look at the showroom on Google streetmaps.

Then I would check companies house website to see if it's a legit business.

Then I would google the director to see if I can find any information (especially previous dissolved companies) or at least see if he has a Facebook page and if he looks like someone I would like to buy a car off.

This process eliminates 95% of traders.

Done the google map thing.
Comes up with an street view of a house in a village. But it does seem to have allot of building with it, also there is "HUGE" flags outside advertising the business.
Power-Play-uk. apparently been trading for 21 years.
They sell allot of performance cars.
No face book page that i can find though.
Checked companies house and company was incorporated in 2014, so i assume that the whole "power play uk" is a recent thing and it was just a small family business under a different name previously.

Anyway i have emailed the garage to tell them what i have found out. They were adamant that the car didnt smoke and havn't noticed and oil usage.
So just waiting to hear back from them.

Probably flat-packs the company every couple of years. It helps with tax bills and makes accounting easier.

Be patient and wait for a forum car to come up for sale. Much safer option.

I suspect this has sold now, but might be worth contacting the OP in case the sale falls through:
