2016 AUDI A7 S LINE TDI ULTRA S-A3.0L Diesel

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend following a minor mechanical setback. The most recent test conducted in April 2025 at 122,029 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car met all minimum safety and environmental standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2023, suggesting that the previous owner successfully addressed the issues following the failure in early 2023. The mileage profile reflects consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 12,200 miles per year over its decade-long life. Between October 2021 and April 2025, the vehicle covered 41,400 miles, showing a steady rate of accumulation. The 13,592-mile gap between the April 2024 and 2025 tests confirms regular long-distance use. This level of mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspension bushings compared to lower-mileage luxury vehicles. While the MOT record shows a lack of advisories, a physical inspection must focus on the cumulative effects of high-mileage operation. A buyer should scrutinise the condition of the control arms and suspension rubberwork, as these components often degrade rapidly on six-figure mileage Audi platforms. Given the mileage, checking the brake discs for thinning and inspecting the calipers for binding is essential. The chassis should also be examined for signs of corrosion, particularly around the subframe mounts, although the record has not flagged any structural integrity issues to date.
