Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the MOT hist
Focus your attention on the chassis and suspension. The 2024 MOT noted worn suspension arm pins and bushes on the front, and the most recent 2026 test flagged pitted front brake discs. You should verify if these components have been replaced or if they are still nearing the end of their life.
Given the 'general corrosion' advisory from 2024, a thorough inspection of the underbody is essential to ensure the rust is superficial and not structural. Request full service records to see how the 3.0L diesel engine has been maintained, as high-mileage luxury SUVs can incur significant repair costs if neglected.
The 2967cc diesel engine provides the necessary torque for a vehicle of this size but results in higher fuel consumption and a higher tax band than smaller SUVs. Insurance groups for the Q7 are typically high, reflecting its luxury status and repair costs.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average, particularly for consumables. The MOT history for this specific car shows a pattern of rapid tyre wear and brake disc degradation, which is typical for the Q7's weight. Expect annual running costs to be significant to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Immediately inspect the tyres and brakes, as the July 2026 MOT specifically highlighted a worn offside front tyre and pitted front brake discs. Check the front suspension bushes for excessive movement, referencing the wear noted in the 2024 MOT record.
Carefully examine the underbody for the 'general corrosion' mentioned in 2024. Additionally, ensure that the under trays and covers—which blocked the inspector's view in 2023—are removed during your inspection to check for leaks or further corrosion in covered areas.
This blue 2008 Audi Q7 has covered 142,994 miles, which is slightly below the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes, though it is marked by frequent advisories regarding tyre wear and suspension components. General corrosion was also recorded in 2024, which is a common consideration for a vehicle of this age.
The Q7 has an average MOT pass rate of 86%, with tyres and brake pads being the most frequent causes of failure across the model range.
