AUDI Q72013 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The latest test on 29 May 2026 at 134,963 miles passed but introduced advisories for both nearside and offside front tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This indicates a lack of recent consumable replacement prior to the test, despite the clean records seen in 2023 and 2025. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per year. Between May 2023 at 127,702 miles and May 2026 at 134,963 miles, the car covered 7,261 miles, suggesting a steady and predictable usage pattern. The intervals between tests remain regular, indicating the vehicle has not been left standing for long periods, though the high mileage of this luxury SUV naturally faces significant wear on heavy-duty components. A buyer must pay attention to the ABS system failure recorded on 24 April 2024 at 129,896 miles. While the vehicle passed shortly after this failure, the presence of an ABS warning lamp often points to wheel speed sensor issues or electronic module faults that can recur. The edge wear noted on the front tyres in the 2026 test also suggests an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, which require a physical inspection to prevent premature degradation of any new rubber fitted. Given the age and mileage of this Q7, a thorough check should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the braking system. The record does not show structural corrosion yet, but the high mileage puts immense stress on the control arms and shocks. Ensure there are no signs of binding or leaks from the hydraulic lines, as the MOT history only captures specific failures rather than the overall mechanical health of the drivetrain and suspension.
