AUDI Q72017 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on December 3 2025 at 128,840 miles where no defects were recorded. This follows a period of clean testing since a brief failure in early April 2023. While the 2023 failure indicates a specific moment requiring repair, the subsequent two passes with zero advisories suggest that any identified issues were addressed and that the vehicle is currently maintaining a consistent mechanical standard. The mileage profile reflects a high-intensity usage pattern, averaging approximately 14,300 miles per year over its nine-year life. A significant surge in usage occurred between May 2021 at 56,001 miles and April 2023 at 91,849 miles, where the vehicle covered over 35,000 miles in just two years. The rate remained high thereafter, with another 37,000 miles logged between the last two recorded tests. This consistent high mileage places considerable stress on the heavy-duty components of the Q7, particularly the drivetrain, air suspension, and braking system. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the suspension bushings and coil springs, as high annual mileage often accelerates wear on these rubber components. Given the lack of advisories in the recent tests, the buyer should still check for signs of fluid leaks from the dampers or air bellows that may not yet triggered an MOT failure. Examining the brake discs for uneven wear and checking the thickness of the pads is vital to ensure the high mileage has not led to premature degradation of the stopping hardware.
