2012 Audi A7 3.0L Diesel · EA12 ABN

The Audi A7 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 February 2026 at 189,062 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage with no defects listed, which suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in February 2025 at 183,369 miles and February 2024 at 178,039 miles also passed cleanly, as did the January 2023 examination at 166,032 miles. The vehicle has cleared every functional assessment without advisories for over three years. Mileage stands at 189,062 over roughly fourteen years, averaging 13,504 miles annually, which is high for the model's age and points to sustained motorway or business use. Accumulation has been steady rather than sporadic: the car covered about 12,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, then near 5,300 to the 2025 test, and roughly 5,700 to the 2026 pass. No gaps exceed twelve months, so the record shows consistent annual testing and no prolonged periods off the road. The clean MOT history offers no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues across the timeline. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underside rust given the high mileage and 2012 build year, as DVSA tests at this age do not always record incipient deterioration. Verify the circumstances of the 20 February 2026 failure with no defects, since repeated same-day fail-pass entries can mask a withheld certificate or late correction. Given the absence of recorded advisories, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, though the sparse commentary limits insight into consumable wear. Physical checks of tyre condition, wiper blades, and drivetrain noise remain prudent before purchase.
