2013 Audi A7 3.0L Diesel · DA62 VHD

The Audi A7 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 21 July 2025 at 142,035 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The July 2025 test recorded both a fail and a pass on the same date at identical mileage with no defects listed, mirroring an identical pattern from 6 July 2024 at 133,729 miles. These paired fail-pass entries with zero recorded defects suggest administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults, and the vehicle has carried no advisories or corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions concerns since the clean pass of 8 June 2023 at 122,774 miles. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 10,900 miles, consistent with typical use for a 2013 vehicle of this class. The record shows 122,774 miles in June 2023, rising to 133,729 by July 2024 and 142,035 by July 2025, a steady accumulation of about 9,000 to 10,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant periods. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing only clean results and the unexplained same-day fail-pass anomalies, so the history alone reveals little about consumable wear or hidden mechanical condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car is now 13 years old and past 142,000 miles. The absence of advisories does not rule out worn tyres, degraded wipers or early structural corrosion that a tester may not have flagged under current thresholds. The repeated fail-then-pass on the same day in both 2024 and 2025 warrants confirmation that no genuine defect was suppressed at retest. Given the clean recorded trail, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the dual fail-pass entries imply loose workshop admin rather than neglect. Prior to purchase, verify service records and inspect underside structural integrity and drivetrain mounts, as the MOT file offers no evidence of intervention on ageing components.
