2017 Audi A7 3.0L Diesel · DC66 YJO

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile with a recent trend toward worsening mechanical wear. While the 2025-06-04 test resulted in a pass, the inspector flagged a worn offside front tyre and worn lower suspension arm bushes. This follows a more significant set of advisories in the 2024-06-18 test, where all four tyres were noted as being close to the legal limit with cracking, alongside pitted rear brake discs and suspension arm bush wear. The shift from a clean record in 2022 and 2023 to multiple advisories in 2024 and 2025 suggests that routine consumable replacement has become less consistent over the last two years. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle. The car has covered 73,946 miles, averaging approximately 8,216 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 49,452 miles in June 2022 to 58,227 miles in June 2023, then 66,322 miles in June 2024, and finally 73,946 miles in June 2025. This regular interval of use suggests the vehicle has not been sitting idle for long periods, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized components or perished seals, though it does mean components are subject to regular operational wear. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The recurring mentions of worn suspension arm bushes in both the 2024 and 2025 tests indicate a persistent issue that may require replacement to prevent handling degradation or premature tyre wear. Given the 2024 advisory regarding pitted and scored rear brake discs, the current state of the braking hardware and the condition of the calipers should be verified. Furthermore, the repeated tyre advisories suggest that the vehicle's wheel alignment or tracking may need professional attention to prevent the uneven edge wear noted in the most recent MOT.
