2013 Audi A7 S Line Black Edit TDI QUT A 3.0L Heavy oil · CY13 BXL

A single major failure – an off‑side front service brake excessively binding – appears on the 2021 MOT, but that issue was rectified and the car has recorded clean passes in every test since May 2022, with the most recent July 2025 MOT showing no defects. The dominant theme across the history is tyre‑wear advisories, ranging from edge‑wear warnings on the front tyre in 2021 to slight damage or cracking on the rear tyres in 2019, indicating that tyre condition has been the most persistent concern. At 106,757 miles the 2013 Audi A7 averages roughly 8,200 miles per year, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within normal usage for a vehicle of this age. MOTs have been carried out annually without significant gaps, suggesting the car has been regularly inspected and any emerging issues have been addressed in a timely manner. The moderate annual accumulation means consumable wear items such as tyres, brakes and suspension components are likely to be at a stage where replacement or refurbishment may be due, but it does not imply excessive strain on the drivetrain or engine. When inspecting the tyres, verify tread depth exceeds the legal 1.6 mm across the entire width and look for any sidewall cracking, bulging or uneven wear that could point to alignment or suspension problems. Pay particular attention to the front left tyre, which previously triggered an edge‑wear advisory, and the rear tyres that were noted as slightly damaged; any loss of grip or vibration at higher speeds should be investigated. Test the brake pedal for a firm, consistent feel and listen for any binding or grinding, especially on the off‑side front where the past failure occurred; a pulsating pedal or unusual noises under hard braking would warrant a fresh inspection of the caliper, pads and hydraulic lines. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, examine the suspension bushes, control arm joints and shock absorbers for play, knocking sounds over bumps or a noticeable pull when cornering, as these components often begin to deteriorate after a decade of service. Inspect the wheel arches and under‑body for any signs of corrosion that could affect structural integrity, and listen for exhaust leaks or rattles that might indicate wear in the exhaust system. A thorough test drive that includes steady cruising, gentle braking and a few moderate bumps will help reveal any latent issues before committing to purchase.
