2019 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · KR15 ABT

The January 2026 test at 59,462 miles returned a clean pass with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. This result continues a stable trend established by the 2025 and early 2024 passes, marking a clear recovery from the catastrophic tyre failure recorded on 15 January 2024 at 38,612 miles. Annual mileage averages roughly 8,500 miles, typical for a seven-year-old Q7, though the rate increased to approximately 11,500 miles between the 2024 and 2026 tests. The history shows consistent annual test cycles every January, with no suspicious gaps or mileage discrepancies evident across the recorded timeline. The 2024 failure exposed severe neglect of the tyre set: the offside rear suffered a deep cut to the cords, both rear tyres showed exposed plies or embedded nails, and both front tyres carried structural bulges indicating sidewall separation. The tester also recorded worn brake discs on all four corners, though not excessively, alongside a deteriorated rear registration plate. That single test paints a picture of deferred basic maintenance rather than isolated impact damage. A buyer should verify the current tyre set matches in brand, tread depth and manufacture date to confirm a full replacement followed the 2024 failure. Brake disc thickness and surface condition warrant close measurement given the previous all-round wear advisory. Inspect suspension geometry and bush condition, as the simultaneous front bulges often point to alignment issues or worn control arms. Finally, check the rear plate legibility and the underbody for early corrosion, a known weak point on this platform despite the clean MOT record.
