2018 Audi A7 3.0L Diesel · DA09 AGE

The 2018 Audi A7 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 July 2025 at 98,508 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The single failure entry dated 19 July 2024 at 94,851 miles shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault on the same day the car then passed. The mileage pattern sits high for an eight-year-old vehicle. Recorded distances moved from 86,992 miles at the 22 September 2022 test, to 90,275 miles by 27 July 2023, then 94,851 miles by 19 July 2024, reaching 98,508 miles on 4 July 2025. This equates to roughly 12,300 miles per year, with a noticeable gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests of nearly ten months. The clean advisories across all entries suggest the previous keeper kept consumables and structural items within limits, though the sparse five-entry history limits deeper wear inference. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the elevated annual mileage. No corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or binding caliper issues appear in the DVLA data, so structural integrity looks sound on paper. The repeated clean passes imply basic upkeep was not skipped, but the 2024 same-day fail-pass anomaly warrants confirmation that no suppressed advisory existed at that point.
