2022 Audi Q7 3.0L Petrol · FP72 BBX

A recent pattern of minor component failures and tyre wear advisories defines the mechanical profile of this vehicle, despite its successful MOT pass on 21 May 2026. The testing history shows a transition from a failure in November 2025, involving ineffective front windscreen wipers, to a clean result in the most recent inspection. However, the November 2025 test also flagged an advisory regarding both front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and specifically worn on the outer edges, a condition that requires close monitoring to ensure it does not recur. The recorded mileage of 24,000 miles over approximately four years indicates a relatively low annual usage rate of roughly 6,000 miles. This level of accumulation is consistent with typical light-duty driving patterns for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this lower mileage suggests that high-wear drivetrain components and major engine internals have likely seen less total cycles of operation compared to a high-mileage equivalent, though it does not preclude the need for regular inspection of rubber components and fluids that can degrade through age rather than distance. Prospective buyers should pay particular attention to the front tyre wear pattern noted in the November 2025 advisory. The mention of tyres being worn specifically on the outer edges is a common indicator of suspension geometry issues, such as incorrect camber angles or worn suspension bushes and ball joints. During a test drive, you should check for any significant steering pull to one side or a wandering sensation at motorway speeds, which could indicate that the underlying cause of the uneven tyre wear has not been fully rectified. Additionally, while the windscreen wiper failure was resolved for the May 2026 test, a thorough inspection of the wiper motor and the condition of the wiper arms is advisable to ensure consistent clearing performance. You should also monitor the front suspension for any audible knocks or knocks over uneven road surfaces, which would be consistent with the uneven tyre wear previously identified. Ensuring the steering feels precise and centered will help confirm that the front-end alignment and suspension integrity are within acceptable parameters.
