2014 Audi Q7 4.1L Diesel · D2 SLR

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 29 November 2025 at 123,355 miles, confirming its legal roadworthiness. The maintenance trend remains stable and generally positive, as the car has achieved five consecutive passes without a single failure. While the most recent inspection introduced two advisories, the overall history suggests a well-maintained vehicle that has avoided significant mechanical neglect over the past five years. The recorded mileage of 123,355 miles over a twelve-year period averages approximately 10,280 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage for a luxury SUV of this class. The consistency of the annual testing dates indicates that the vehicle has remained in regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods. The jump of roughly 12,664 miles between the December 2024 and November 2025 tests represents a standard accumulation for a diesel engine of this type, suggesting the drivetrain has been kept at operating temperature rather than subjected to short, damaging trips. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the specific components flagged in the latest test. The rear brake pads require immediate assessment to determine the remaining friction material, as thin pads often indicate that the discs may also be nearing their service limit. The note regarding the rear prop shaft flexible coupling is particularly significant for an Audi Q7, as this rubber component is prone to perishing under the torque loads of the Quattro system. Any vibration or clunking during gear transitions under load would confirm that this coupling requires replacement. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the air suspension system and lower control arm bushes is also advisable, as these items often show wear that does not always trigger an MOT advisory until they reach a state of failure.
