2020 Audi Q7 SLN BLK ED 50TDI Mhev QTO A 3.0L Diesel · E26 SAW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test in March 2026 at 61,286 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a leaking nearside rear hydraulic brake caliper and wear on the front upper suspension bushes. While the vehicle passed the re-test on the same day, the presence of suspension arm bush wear advisories indicates that these components are reaching the end of their functional life and will likely require replacement soon. The mileage progression is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per year. Between the recorded 36,703 miles in August 2023 and 45,302 miles in August 2024, the car covered roughly 8,600 miles, followed by another 15,984 miles leading to the March 2026 test. This steady usage pattern suggests regular motorway or suburban driving, which explains the observed wear on the braking system and suspension components. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring issues with both the nearside and offside front upper suspension arm bushes. The splitting of these bushes can lead to steering instability and uneven tyre wear if not addressed. The braking system shows a history of neglect, with thin pads and scored discs flagged repeatedly across 2024 and 2025. The recent repair of the rear hydraulic caliper in 2026 must be verified to ensure there is no residual fluid leakage or damage to the surrounding brake lines.
