Our Verdict
This 2016 Audi Q7 presents a solid case
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the air suspension system, as this is a known area of complexity for the Q7 platform. Check for any sagging when the car is parked and listen for unusual compressor noises during the test drive. Ensure all electronic features, particularly the MMI infotainment system, are fully functional as these can be costly to rectify.
Verify that the tyres are of a premium brand and matched across axles, as the Q7's weight and quattro all-wheel-drive system are demanding on rubber. Given the mileage, check for any evidence of recent transmission fluid changes, as the Tiptronic gearbox benefits from periodic maintenance to ensure longevity.
As a 3.0-litre diesel SUV, the Q7 sits in a high tax bracket and will likely see fuel economy in the mid-to-high 30s on a motorway run, though urban driving will be significantly lower. Insurance will be in a high group, reflecting the vehicle's value and performance capability.
Maintenance costs for a premium SUV of this age should be budgeted for carefully. Beyond standard servicing, be prepared for higher costs on consumables such as brake discs, pads, and tyres compared to smaller vehicles. Expect annual running costs, including fuel, insurance, and routine maintenance, to fall in the £2,500–£3,500 range depending on annual mileage.
The MOT history shows only one advisory for tyre wear in 2025, so a thorough inspection of the current tyre condition is essential. Ensure all four tyres have even tread wear; uneven wear can be a sign of suspension misalignment or worn bushes, common issues on heavy SUVs.
Inspect the brake discs and pads for signs of scoring or thinning, as these are high-wear items for the Q7. Additionally, check the underside for any signs of oil leaks around the engine and differential, and ensure there is no evidence of corrosion on the brake pipes, which is a common failure point for vehicles of this age and size.
Registered in March 2016, this blue Audi Q7 with a 2967cc diesel engine has covered 95,327 miles. The vehicle has passed its last five MOT tests consecutively, with only one advisory noted in 2025 regarding a tyre. This performance is encouraging when compared to the 86.0% average pass rate for the model.
The Audi Q7 generally aligns with the 86.0% average MOT pass rate for the segment, though owners should be aware that tyre, coil spring, and brake pad issues are the most frequent causes of failure for this model.
