2017 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · KP17 AMP

The 2017 Audi Q7 passed its latest MOT on 15 May 2026 at 51,800 miles with no defects recorded, showing a recent improvement, yet it failed a test just 19 miles earlier on the same day with a fractured rear coil spring and worn brake pads. The tester flagged the spring fracture and thin pads, indicating serious mechanical concerns that were apparently addressed before the subsequent pass. Mileage has risen steadily from 26,327 miles in March 2021 to 51,800 miles in May 2026, averaging about 5,756 miles per year, which is low for a nine‑year‑old vehicle and suggests limited use or extended periods of inactivity. The intervals between tests are consistent, with no long gaps, and the jump from 44,987 miles in April 2025 to 51,800 miles in May 2026 reflects a rapid accumulation of 6,813 miles in a single year. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear coil spring for any signs of repair or replacement, examine the condition of the rear and front brake pads and discs for uneven wear or scoring, and verify that suspension bushes and coil springs are intact and free of binding. Particular attention must be given to tyre tread depth, as previous tests noted tyres worn close to the legal limit, and to check for structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis, as well as the overall state of the exhaust system and any advisory items carried forward from earlier tests.
