2021 AUDI A7 SLN BLK ED 55TFSI MHEV Q SA3.0L PETROL

This Audi A7 has maintained a clean MOT record since its last test on 27 March 2026 , passing without fail at 35,003 miles . The sole advisory— nearside rear tyre wear close to the legal limit and running on the edge —indicates a minor but critical issue requiring immediate attention. No defects were recorded in the previous two tests, suggesting the vehicle has otherwise passed without mechanical or structural concerns. However, the advisory at the most recent test implies a lack of proactive tyre maintenance, as tread depth and alignment issues can accelerate suspension and wheel bearing wear if left unaddressed. The recorded mileage of 35,003 miles over five years equates to approximately 7,000 miles annually , which aligns with typical usage patterns for this model. There are no significant gaps or abrupt mileage spikes in the available data, though the 15-month interval between the 2025 and 2026 tests is slightly longer than the DVSA’s recommended 12-month maximum for MOTs. This could reflect either a deliberate deferral or a lack of urgency in scheduling the test. The consistency in mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme conditions, but the advisory on tyre wear suggests basic upkeep may have been overlooked. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the nearside rear tyre and wheel assembly , including checking for uneven wear patterns, potential sub-sequent damage to the wheel bearing, and alignment settings. Given the absence of defects in prior tests, there is no evidence of recurring suspension or braking issues, though the rear brakes —if not recently serviced—should be examined for wear, particularly if the vehicle exhibits uneven stopping performance. The exhaust system, underbody, and wheel arches should also be scrutinised for signs of corrosion or fluid leaks, especially in a vehicle of this age and mileage. The MHEV hybrid components (if applicable) should be verified for proper charge retention and electrical integrity, though these are not typically MOT-tested unless they directly affect drivability or emissions.
