2016 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · WR66 BBN

The 2016 Audi Q7 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 1 October 2025 at 87,612 miles with zero defects. That is a strong result for a ten-year-old SUV. The record shows a clear pattern of resolving minor issues rather than escalating mechanical failure, which suggests the most recent keeper has kept on top of basic servicing and consumable replacements. Mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 8,761 miles per year. The annual tests show steady progression from 48,531 miles in October 2021 to 60,659 miles in October 2022, then 68,025 miles by July 2023, 77,442 miles by July 2024, and finally 87,612 miles in October 2025. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in recorded distance. The only notable point is the slightly longer interval between the July 2024 and October 2025 tests, covering just over 10,000 miles in around fifteen months, which may indicate a period of lighter use but remains within normal parameters. The advisory history flags a few areas that warrant close physical inspection. The 2023 test at 68,025 miles noted the offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the outer edge, which points to possible wheel alignment issues or uneven suspension geometry. A buyer should check the inner and outer tread edges on all four tyres and have the tracking and front suspension bushes inspected, as uneven wear on the Q7's heavy platform is common when alignment drifts. The 2022 test at 60,659 miles flagged nearside front brake pads wearing thin, along with low coolant and a child seat obstructing the nearside rear belt inspection. These were minor items, but the combination of low coolant and obscured belt checks raises a question about whether cooling system integrity and seat belt mounting points were ever properly examined. A compression test and a thorough check of the coolant system for seepage around the thermostat housing and expansion tank would be prudent. The 2021 test recorded a brake pad warning light and a TPMS warning light at 48,531 miles. Both are electronic indicators rather than mechanical defects, but they suggest the vehicle's monitoring systems were drawing attention to wear or pressure loss at that stage. With the most recent test showing no such warnings, it is likely these were addressed, though a buyer should still verify the condition of the brake discs and pads all round and confirm the TPMS sensors are functioning correctly. Overall, the MOT record paints a picture of a vehicle that has been maintained to a reasonable standard, with no recurring structural or serious mechanical faults, but the tyre wear pattern and past cooling system note justify a focused pre-purchase inspection.
