2013 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · AY63 ONG

A pattern of tyre-related advisories has characterized recent inspections, though the most recent test on 18 May 2026 shows no defects recorded. While the vehicle has maintained a passing status since its first recorded test in 2019, the 2023 and 2024 records indicate recurring issues with sidewall cuts and tread wear on multiple tyres. This trend of tyre-specific advisories suggests a history of consumable wear rather than structural or mechanical failures, but the absence of any advisories in the two most recent tests indicates that these specific issues have been addressed. The vehicle has covered 109,752 miles over its 13-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 8,442 miles. This mileage profile is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age and suggests a steady rate of wear across mechanical components. For a heavy SUV like the Q7, this level of mileage means that while the drivetrain may not have excessive high-speed mileage, components subject to constant load, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and braking systems, will have undergone significant cycles of stress. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and wheels, given the history of sidewall cuts and edge wear noted in 2023 and 2024. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or uneven road noise that could indicate irregular tyre wear or internal tyre damage. Additionally, because the 2023 advisory noted a tyre worn on the edge, it is necessary to inspect the suspension geometry. Any pulling to one side during straight-line driving or a wandering sensation through the steering wheel could indicate worn control arm bushes or misaligned steering linkages. The history of tyre damage and wear also necessitates a thorough check of the wheel bearings and suspension components. If the vehicle exhibits any knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces or bumps, this may point to worn dampers or suspension mounts. Given the heavy nature of the chassis, ensure that the braking system feels consistent; any pedal judder or vibration under braking could indicate warped discs, which often coincide with the types of tyre wear patterns seen in the previous records.
