2022 Audi Q7 S LN VOR 50 TDI Mhev Quat A 3.0L Diesel · BL71 XEC

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-04 showed the vehicle passed, but brake pad wear was flagged across all four corners, indicating a recurring issue. This mirrors the 2026-01-29 failed MOT, which also listed thin brake pads alongside severe tyre tread deficiencies. The tyre issues were resolved by the next inspection, but brake pad wear persisted, suggesting ongoing maintenance needs. The 2025-01-27 MOT noted minor concerns: a damaged nearside floor cover and slightly lipped, corroded front discs. These were not repeated in later tests, implying they may have been addressed or deemed non-critical. However, the repeated brake pad warnings and tyre tread failures highlight a pattern of component wear that could signal heavy usage or insufficient maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 57,208 miles (about 14,302 per year) is high for its age, which may accelerate wear on brakes, tyres, and suspension. While high mileage alone does not confirm poor condition, the frequency of brake and tyre issues suggests the vehicle may have experienced hard use or inconsistent servicing. The short interval between the failed and subsequent passed MOT (just 106 miles apart) raises questions about whether repairs were prioritized promptly. The trend shows recurring brake pad wear, which could indicate improper adjustment, excessive braking, or component degradation.
