Our Verdict
A strong prospect for those seeking a lo
Given the low mileage and large engine capacity, ensure the service history shows regular oil changes regardless of the distance covered. The 2024 MOT records show two failures for the same tyre within a month; check the current tyre brand and condition to ensure high-quality replacements were used.
Negotiate the price based on the upcoming need for front brake discs, as these were flagged as worn in the most recent June 2026 MOT. Verify that all electronic systems are functioning correctly, as is standard for high-specification Audi models of this era.
The 4.0L petrol engine will result in high fuel expenditure and a high annual road tax bracket. Insurance will likely be in a high group due to the engine size and vehicle value.
Maintenance for a car of this specification can be costly, particularly for premium tyres and brake components. Prospective buyers should budget for higher-than-average consumables compared to smaller A7 variants.
Pay close attention to the front brake discs, which were flagged as worn in the June 2026 MOT. Inspect the offside rear tyre specifically, as this area caused two failures in 2024, to ensure no further sidewall damage is present.
Additionally, check the headlamps for clarity and function, as these are a common failure point across the A7 model range according to aggregate data. Inspect the registration plates for any damage or peeling, which is another frequent MOT failure for this model.
This black Audi A7 features a 3,993cc petrol engine and has recorded 54,360 miles as of June 2026. This is significantly lower than the model's average annual mileage of 8,804 miles. The MOT history shows five tests, with two failures in 2024 specifically related to cuts in the offside rear tyre.
The A7 has an average MOT pass rate of 88.4%, with tyres and headlamps being the most frequent causes of failure.
