2022 Audi Q7 SLN BLK ED 55TFSI Mhev QT A 3.0L Petrol · E4 DTY

The 2022 Audi Q7 55 TFSI passed its most recent MOT on 29 January 2026 at 44,422 miles, just under five months ago. The maintenance trend is stable but shows a pattern of deferred brake wear. The tester flagged front inner brake pads wearing thin and noted both front and rear brake discs were worn, though not excessively. These advisories indicate the braking system is approaching service limits and has likely been running in that condition since the prior test. The vehicle has covered 8,967 miles between the February 2025 test at 35,455 miles and the January 2026 test at 44,422 miles. That is a slightly higher-than-average annual rate of roughly 10,760 miles over that eleven-month interval, consistent with regular daily use rather than long periods of standing. The mileage progression is clean and linear with no suspicious gaps or sudden drops, supporting a straightforward ownership and usage history. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the front brake pads and both front and rear discs in person. The January 2026 advisory confirms the pads were already thin and the discs worn, meaning replacement is likely due imminently. The nearside and offside front tyres were noted at 2.5mm tread depth in February 2025, which is dangerously close to the 1.6mm legal minimum. Given the subsequent mileage accumulation, those tyres will almost certainly require replacement now, and the cracking or perishing noted on the nearside front and offside rear tyres raises questions about age-related sidewall deterioration that a visual inspection must verify. Beyond consumables, the rear brake disc wear flagged in the most recent test warrants a close check for caliper seizure or binding, particularly if the vehicle has been driven predominantly in stop-start conditions. The nearside rear child seat obstruction noted in 2025 prevented a full adult seatbelt inspection, so a buyer should manually test the nearside rear belt retraction and locking function themselves. Overall, the record reflects a mechanically sound vehicle with no structural or corrosion concerns, but one where routine brake and tyre upkeep has been left to the edge of serviceability.
