2021 Audi A7 3.0L Petrol · D7 XDL

The Audi A7 presents a clean bill of health on paper. The most recent MOT, conducted on 22 May 2026 at 40,247 miles, passed with zero defects or advisories. Looking back through the record, the maintenance trend is entirely stable. The previous two tests, on 22 May 2025 at 32,769 miles and 3 June 2024 at 25,459 miles, also passed with no faults whatsoever. A three-year, defect-free run across three consecutive annual tests indicates a vehicle that has been kept in sound mechanical order. The mileage accumulation is steady and unremarkable. Between June 2024 and May 2025, the car covered 7,310 miles. The following year, from May 2025 to May 2026, it added 7,478 miles. This averages out to roughly 8,049 miles per year over its five-year life, which is typical for a modern executive car. There are no suspicious gaps in the record or sudden spikes in usage that would raise concerns about long periods of neglect or excessive short-trip wear. Despite the flawless MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential. The absence of advisories is encouraging, but it does not guarantee the underlying condition of high-wear components. A buyer should inspect the condition of the tyre sidewalls and tread depth, as well as the inner edges of the brake discs and pads, which can degrade between annual tests. Given the A7's weight and performance, check the front suspension lower arms and track rod ends for any play, and examine the underside for corrosion on the subframes and suspension mounting points. The exhaust system and DPF, if fitted, should be assessed for leaks or soot staining that could hint at underlying engine issues not yet severe enough to fail an emissions test.
