2011 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · DV61 FPY

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test in December 2025 with no recorded defects, indicating a positive outcome after a period of required repairs. The trend shows clear improvement from the December 2024 test, which initially failed due to multiple issues including worn rear brake components and a deteriorated CV boot, before passing after those faults were rectified. Earlier in November 2023, the test failed with significant suspension bush wear and tyre defects, suggesting a prior period of neglected maintenance that appears to have been addressed subsequently. The absence of any failures or advisories in the latest test is a favourable sign of recent upkeep. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, recording approximately 9,300 miles per year over its lifetime to reach 139,687 miles. The MOT history shows regular annual testing without significant gaps, with the only anomaly being two tests within one day in December 2024 following a failure. This pattern suggests steady, typical use rather than periods of heavy or minimal activity, and no rapid mileage spikes that would accelerate general wear beyond the expected level for its age and mileage. A buyer must physically inspect the rear brake system, as both pads and discs were flagged as worn but not critically weakened in late 2024. While these were replaced to pass the test, the history indicates this is a wear point that will require monitoring. The front lower suspension arm bushes were found excessively worn in late 2023; although not mentioned in later tests, this component should be checked for any recurrence of play or deterioration, as failure here compromises handling and safety. The severely deteriorated near-side front inner CV joint boot from 2024, though corrected, warrants verification of the joint's current condition and the integrity of any replacement boot. Minor issues like a slight oil leak were noted intermittently but were not deemed excessive. No structural corrosion or major safety-related defects like steering or seatbelt failures appear in the record. The tyre wear issues from 2023 were resolved by 2024. The primary mechanical concerns centre on the consumable brake items and the suspension bushes, both of which are critical for safe handling and should be assessed for current wear levels beyond what the MOT minimum standards require.
