2019 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · AN18 BOS

A pattern of tyre-related issues defines the recent MOT history for this vehicle, transitioning from edge wear advisories to a failure involving structural cuts in the sidewalls. While the most recent test on 6 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, the 2024 inspection required a failure to address deep cuts in both the nearside and offside front tyres that reached the ply or cords. This progression from wear-related advisories in 2022 to significant structural damage in 2024 suggests a period where tyre condition was a recurring point of attention. The recorded mileage of 55,602 miles over approximately seven years indicates an average annual accumulation of roughly 7,943 miles. This usage profile is consistent with typical long-distance or mixed-use patterns for a premium SUV of this age. From a mechanical perspective, this level of mileage suggests that while the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-frequency usage, components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain seals will have undergone a standard amount of wear and tear consistent with its age and distance travelled. Given the history of tyre defects, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the current condition of the front tyres and the alignment of the vehicle. During a test drive, check for any pulling to one side or a wandering sensation through the steering wheel, which could indicate that the previous issues with edge wear or tyre damage were symptomatic of underlying suspension or tracking problems. Listen for any rhythmic thumping or vibration through the steering column or floorpan that might suggest uneven tyre wear or issues with the wheel bearings. The absence of recent advisories regarding braking systems or structural corrosion is a relevant observation, but the focus should remain on the mechanical integrity of the steering and suspension assembly. Ensure that the steering feels precise and that there are no sudden knocks or clunks when navigating uneven surfaces or turning the wheel at low speeds, as these could point to worn suspension linkages or bushings. While the 2025 pass shows no current defects, the previous tyre failures necessitate a thorough visual inspection of the current tread depth and sidewall integrity to ensure no new damage has occurred.
