2011 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · BK11 FMP

The current MOT position is strong. The vehicle passed cleanly on 4 April 2026 at 148,059 miles with zero defects recorded, following an earlier fail on the same day for an inoperative engine malfunction indicator lamp. That single advisory was rectified within hours, which suggests the fault was minor, likely a bulb or wiring issue rather than an underlying engine defect. The maintenance trend is broadly stable. Annual tests since 2023 have returned consistently clean results apart from recurring tyre wear advisories, indicating the powertrain and core safety systems are holding up well for a fifteen-year-old large SUV. The mileage profile is unremarkable and consistent. Annualised at roughly 9,871 miles per year, the accumulation sits comfortably within the typical range for this age group. The recorded intervals show steady progression: 131,751 miles in April 2023, 139,090 in April 2024, 144,235 in April 2025, and 148,059 in April 2026. Each year adds between 4,800 and 7,300 miles, with no sudden spikes or suspicious plateaus that would suggest long-term standing or odometer anomalies. The data set is clean and continuous across the last four annual tests. The only recurring theme in the record is uneven tyre wear. Advisories appeared in 2024 for both front tyres and in 2025 for the nearside rear, all flagged under the same worn-on-edge category. This pattern points toward suspension geometry drift rather than simple underinflation. On a Q7 of this age and mileage, worn front lower arm bushes, deteriorating anti-roll bar links, or slightly sagging coil springs can all produce the camber and toe misalignment needed to scallop tyre shoulders. A buyer should inspect the front and rear suspension bushes for perishing and play, check the condition and remaining thickness of all four tyres, and verify even tread wear across each axle. Given the clean MOT otherwise, structural corrosion and braking components appear sound, but a physical underbody inspection around the subframes and inner sills remains prudent for a vehicle approaching 150,000 miles.
