2022 Audi Q7 SLN BLK ED 50TDI Mhev QTO A 3.0L Diesel · BD71 FXG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a lapse in basic preventative maintenance. While it passed the test on 6 March 2026 at 38,085 miles, it had failed just one day prior at 38,067 miles. This failure resulted from an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light and significant tyre defects on the front axle. The resolution of these issues suggests the owner addressed the immediate safety and electronic concerns once flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. Between the March 2025 test at 31,259 miles and the March 2026 test, the car covered 6,826 miles. This slightly lower but steady usage suggests regular driving rather than long periods of standing. However, the failure in March 2026 due to tyre wear and damage indicates that consumables were not being monitored proactively prior to the annual inspection deadline. A buyer must prioritise a diagnostic scan of the engine management system to ensure the malfunction indicator light was properly rectified and not merely cleared. An inoperative MIL light can mask recurring sensor failures or turbocharger issues common in the 50TDI engine. Furthermore, the offside front tyre worn on the edge and the nearside tyre reaching structural cords suggest potential alignment issues or suspension component wear. Inspect the front suspension bushes and bushings for signs of premature failure to ensure the uneven tyre wear was not caused by mechanical play in the drivetrain.
