Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution due to very
Given the recorded mileage of over 200,000 miles, your primary focus should be on the mechanical integrity of the 2.9L diesel engine and the complex Quattro drivetrain. Negotiate the price downwards to account for the high mileage and the likelihood of upcoming heavy maintenance. Ask for evidence of any recent major component replacements, particularly regarding the suspension system, as the 2025 MOT highlighted worn bushes and corrosion.
Running this large 2967cc diesel SUV will be expensive. Expect high fuel consumption typical of a heavy luxury vehicle, and insurance groups for a Q7 are generally high. Maintenance costs are likely to be substantial given the age and mileage; components like shock absorbers (previously noted with oil misting) and suspension arms are expensive to replace on this model.
You must closely inspect the suspension components. The October 2025 MOT specifically identified worn pins/bushes on both front upper arms and corrosion on the offside rear lower coil spring mounting. Check for any signs of further oil misting from the shock absorbers, as this was an advisory in September 2024.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and brakes. While the 2023 MOT noted a tyre worn close to the legal limit, the model aggregate data shows that tyres and brake pads are common failure points for this vehicle type. Ensure all suspension bushings feel tight and that there are no knocks or knocks when driving over uneven surfaces.
This 2016 silver Audi Q7 has covered 206,921 miles as of its latest MOT in November 2025, which is significantly higher than the model average of 8,769 miles per year. While the most recent test shows no defects, the history reveals a pattern of suspension and component wear, including worn bushes and a corroded coil spring mounting. The vehicle's high usage suggests it has been driven extensively, likely on long-distance motorway routes.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 85.9% MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to coil springs, tyres, and brake pads.
