2016 Audi A7 3.0L Diesel · EU16 NTL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in August 2025 at 72,025 miles resulted in a pass with minor cosmetic defects to the offside front tyre and plasticwork. This follows an improvement from the August 2024 failure where the car was rejected for multiple mechanical and fluid issues. While the vehicle is currently passing, the recurring nature of brake-related advisories suggests a consistent pattern of allowing components to degrade. The mileage profile is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 43,653 miles and July 2023 at 51,611 miles, the car covered roughly 8,000 miles, followed by a sharper increase of 15,194 miles in the following year leading up to the 2024 test. This recent spike in usage likely triggered the accelerated wear seen on rubber and metal components in the later records. A buyer must inspect the braking system thoroughly, as the record shows a persistent history of pitted and scored discs across all four corners since 2023. The 2024 failure specifically highlighted the nearside and offside rear discs, while the 2023 test flagged both front discs. This indicates that the owner may be delaying disc replacements until they reach a failure threshold or a significant advisory limit. Additionally, the offside front tyre damage noted in 2025 and the previous inner cut in 2024 warrant a close check of sidewall integrity to ensure no structural bulges are present.
