2019 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · AD68 AKP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean passes to emerging component wear. The most recent test in January 2026 at 78,878 miles flagged all four brake discs as being worn towards limits. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates that the braking system is now reaching the end of its service life across all axles, marking a departure from the defect-free records seen in the previous three years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a seven-year-old luxury SUV, averaging approximately 11,200 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, moving from 30,961 miles in early 2022 to 78,878 miles by early 2026. The most significant jump of 13,624 miles occurred between the January 2024 and 2025 tests. This consistent pattern suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally prevents the premature degradation of rubber-based components. A buyer should prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly, as the recent advisory on worn discs suggests that a full replacement is likely required soon to maintain stopping performance. The 2025 advisory regarding a perishing offside rear outer tyre also indicates that the rubber compounds may be suffering from age-related cracking despite the relatively low mileage. Given the age and weight of this Q7, the suspension should also be checked for signs of wear in bushings and bushings, as these are common failure points on this heavy chassis once they cross the 70,000-mile threshold.
