2010 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · PK60 AEN

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 30 April 2026 at 97 075 miles, but the test recorded several advisories: nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit, rear brake discs showing wear and pitting, a corroded rear anti‑roll bar, and a damaged steering rack gaiter. The overall roadworthiness is currently acceptable, yet the maintenance trend is worsening. Earlier entries from 2014‑2021 show minimal defects, whereas tests from 2022 onward increasingly flag brake disc wear, steering rack play, tyre deterioration and now anti‑roll bar corrosion, indicating a progressive decline rather than improvement. Mileage accumulation has followed a typical pattern for a 16‑year‑old Audi Q7, averaging about 6 067 miles per year. The interval between the November 2024 test (89 214 miles) and the April 2026 test (97 075 miles) spans roughly 17 months and adds nearly 8 000 miles, a higher rate than the long‑term average. Earlier gaps show steadier progression, while the recent jump suggests more intensive use or less frequent servicing. A buyer should inspect the rear brake discs for scoring and pitting, as they have been repeatedly flagged. The steering rack inner joints need a check for excessive play and the gaiter condition, given the ongoing advisories. Tyre condition is critical; the nearside front tyre is near the legal tread limit and both rear tyres exhibit sidewall damage, so a physical assessment of tread depth and sidewall integrity is essential. Finally, the anti‑roll bar shows corrosion that, while not yet serious, warrants a visual inspection for rust progression and structural integrity.
