2014 AUDI Q73.0L Diesel

The 2014 Audi Q7 with 99,810 miles demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, as the most recent MOT on 2025-04-10 at 99,810 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Previous tests from 2024-04-20 (97,119 miles) and 2023-08-31 (94,286 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2024-04-19 at the same mileage as the subsequent pass raises questions about potential unresolved concerns, though no defects were logged. The absence of structural or mechanical advisories in recent records indicates the vehicle has met baseline safety standards. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,318 miles annually. The gap between the 2022-09-01 test (89,193 miles) and 2023-08-31 test (94,286 miles) reflects a 5,093-mile increase over 11 months, which is reasonable. No significant spikes or prolonged inactivity periods are evident in the data. The MOT history shows no recurring faults, though the 2024-04-19 failure without recorded defects warrants scrutiny, potentially pointing to procedural errors or minor issues addressed before retesting. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for wear or corrosion, as these are common failure points in older SUVs. The exhaust system and underbody corrosion, especially around the chassis rails, merit close attention. While the MOT records show no critical issues, the lack of detailed failure notes for the 2024 test necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
