Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but consider this a relatively stable example of a large SUV. While the recent MOT history is clean, the high mileage and age of this 2007 Audi Q7 require a thorough mechanical inspection.
Given the vehicle's age and its 2.9L diesel engine, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history, which cannot be confirmed through MOT records alone. Check for evidence of timing belt changes and suspension component replacements, as these are critical for a vehicle of this weight and mileage.
When negotiating, use the high mileage as a point of discussion. While the recent MOTs have been passed without defects, the 141,689 miles recorded suggest heavy usage. Ensure you check the service intervals have been strictly adhered to, as large diesel engines like this require consistent maintenance to avoid costly repairs.
Running a 2967cc diesel Audi Q7 involves significant costs. Expect higher-than-average fuel consumption due to the vehicle's size and engine displacement. Insurance groups for this model tend to be high, and tax bands for a 2007 3.0L diesel will be substantial.
Maintenance costs are typically higher for this model than for standard family cars. While the MOT history shows no recent failures, common replacement items for this model include tyres, brake pads, and coil springs, which are noted as top failure reasons in the wider model aggregate data.
Specifically inspect the suspension system, including coil springs and bushings, as these are identified as common failure points for the Audi Q7 across the wider dataset. Given the 141,689 miles, also check for any signs of wear in the braking system, such as pads and discs.
Because the 2023 MOT showed a failure (though no specific defect was recorded in the summary provided), it is worth asking the seller for the specific reason for that failure to ensure it was rectified properly. Additionally, check the condition of the tyres, as they are a frequent cause of MOT failures for this model.
This 2007 Audi Q7, finished in black, has covered 141,689 miles as of its last MOT in March 2025. The vehicle shows a consistent mileage progression, though it is significantly higher than the model average of 8,807 miles per year. The MOT history shows a clean pass in the last three consecutive tests, following a failure in early 2023.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 85.9% MOT pass rate, with common failures related to coil springs, tyres, and brake pads.
