2018 AUDI Q74.0L Diesel

This 2018 Audi Q7 has demonstrated consistent MOT compliance over its recorded history, with no defects or advisories recorded across five consecutive tests. The most recent inspection on 13 August 2025—just 11 months ago—confirmed the vehicle met all current DVSA roadworthiness standards at 82,851 miles. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures, and the absence of advisories suggests previous owners adhered to basic maintenance intervals, though this does not preclude hidden issues requiring independent verification. The mileage progression reveals an average annual distance of approximately 10,356 miles, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. Notably, there is a significant gap between the March 2024 (71,103 miles) and December 2024 (82,799 miles) tests, indicating roughly 11,696 miles were accumulated in under nine months. While this does not suggest aggressive driving, it does imply the vehicle was in regular use rather than stored. The consistent 12-month intervals between tests further suggest the vehicle was likely kept in serviceable condition during this period. Given the absence of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components such as suspension bushes and coil springs, particularly at the rear where Audi models are prone to premature degradation. The brake system—though never flagged—should be scrutinised for uneven pad wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on discs, especially if the vehicle has experienced wet or salted conditions. Structural integrity remains a concern for this age, so a thorough examination of underbody corrosion around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system is essential. The lack of advisories does not rule out minor leaks or electrical quirks, so a pre-purchase diagnostic check is strongly advised.
