2020 Audi Q7 SLN BLK ED 50TDI Mhev QTO A 3.0L Diesel · ET69 KUP

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-07-28—just under a year ago at 60,019 miles—confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This clean pass follows a consistent pattern over the past three tests, with no advisories or recurring issues beyond the single 2023 failure tied to tyre tread. The absence of brake, suspension, or emissions-related faults in the last two cycles suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the 2023 tyre failure hints at neglect in that area. The most recent test’s proximity to the current date (2026-07-26) means no major wear has been flagged in the intervening period, but a thorough inspection is still essential to verify components like brake pads, caliper binding, and suspension integrity. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 10,000 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2023-01-05 pass (20,378 miles) and the subsequent failure on 2023-01-04 (20,373 miles) is negligible, indicating the failure likely stemmed from a single oversight rather than a pattern of deferred maintenance. The subsequent tests in 2023 and 2024 show no further tyre-related issues, suggesting the tyres were replaced or rotated after the failure. However, the lack of intermediate MOTs between 2023-06-19 and 2024-07-26—covering over 20,000 miles—means critical components like brakes, suspension bushes, and exhaust systems were not formally assessed during that period. A buyer should prioritise an inspection of the current tyre condition, particularly focusing on the nearside front and offside front positions, where the 2023 failure occurred. The absence of advisories in recent tests does not preclude uneven wear or structural damage, so checking for uneven tread depth, embedded debris, or signs of edge wear is advisable. The suspension—including coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for leaks, excessive play, or corrosion, especially given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake discs and calipers warrant close scrutiny for binding, uneven wear, or corrosion, as these are common failure points in diesel hybrids like this model. Finally, the underbody should be inspected for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust components, as these areas are prone to deterioration over time.
