2018 Audi Q7 S-LN Black ED 50 TDI Quat A 3.0L Heavy oil · BJ68 AEE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history. The October 2025 test at 87,727 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. While the vehicle has experienced intermittent failures related to consumable items, the trend shows a move toward a well-maintained state, with the most recent inspection showing no outstanding advisories or defects. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show a steady increase from 54,944 miles in October 2021 to 87,727 miles in October 2025, averaging approximately 8,000 to 8,500 miles per year during this period. This gradual progression suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized components or perished rubber seals often found in vehicles that sit idle. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly. The October 2024 test at 80,835 miles flagged worn front suspension arm pins or bushes. Although this did not result in a failure, it indicates the onset of wear in the chassis components that could lead to more significant handling issues or noise if neglected. Given the vehicle's weight and age, checking the integrity of all suspension bushes, coil springs, and control arms is a necessary precaution. The history also highlights a tendency for tyres to be maintained close to the legal limit, as seen in the October 2021 failure and the October 2023 failure involving a sidewall cut. While these are minor consumable issues, they suggest the previous owner may have been reactive rather than proactive regarding tyre replacement. A thorough check of the current tyre tread depth and sidewall condition is advised to ensure no immediate replacement costs are required.
