2015 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · BV65 KWD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care regarding consumables. The most recent test in July 2025 at 118,996 miles resulted in a pass despite the nearside rear tyre being worn close to the legal limit. This follows a pattern seen in March 2024 at 106,496 miles, where both nearside front and rear tyres were flagged for similar wear. While the vehicle avoids major mechanical failures, the recurring tyre advisories suggest the owner only addresses wear items when they approach inspection thresholds. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old luxury SUV, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per year. There is a steady increase in usage over the recorded periods, with the vehicle covering roughly 12,000 miles between October 2021 and November 2022, and another 33,200 miles between November 2022 and July 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and drivetrain components, though it accelerates the wear on the suspension assembly. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension geometry. The October 2021 test at 73,725 miles identified worn bushes on all four upper suspension arm pins. Given the 45,000 miles driven since that advisory, these rubber components are likely nearing the end of their life again, causing uneven tyre wear and degraded handling characteristics. A physical inspection should check for play in the control arms and verify the alignment of the tyres, as the edge wear noted in the last two MOT tests often indicates an alignment issue or failing bushings.
