2019 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · FT19 FWD

A pattern of recurring consumable wear, particularly regarding braking components and tyres, characterizes the recent mechanical history of this vehicle. While the most recent test on 03 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, the preceding years showed a trend of advisories related to tyre tread depth and brake component degradation. The absence of defects in the two most recent tests suggests that the issues flagged in 2023 and 2024 have been addressed, moving the vehicle from a state of noted wear to a clean recent record. The recorded mileage of 66,807 miles over approximately seven years represents a typical usage profile, averaging roughly 9,544 miles per year. This level of annual accumulation suggests consistent road use rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway mileage. Mechanically, this rate of use implies that components such as suspension bushes, dampers, and drivetrain elements should be subject to standard wear for a vehicle of this age and distance, rather than the accelerated degradation seen in high-mileage examples or the potential seizing of components often associated with very low-usage vehicles. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition, given the specific advisories noted in the 2023 and 2024 records. The 2023 advisory for thin rear brake pads and the 2024 advisory for pitted or scored front brake discs necessitate a close examination of the current disc and pad thickness. During a test drive, pay close attention to any pedal judder or vibration under braking, which can indicate warped or unevenly worn discs, and listen for any squealing or grinding noises that might suggest the previously noted wear has recurred or that calipers are binding. Tyre wear patterns should also be scrutinised, specifically looking for unevenness on the edges of the sidewalls, as the 2024 record highlighted multiple tyres worn close to the legal limit or on the edges. Uneven wear on the inner or outer edges of the tyres can be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension components such as control arm bushes or tie rod ends. On the road, check for any steering pull to one side or a wandering sensation at cruising speeds, which would correlate with the previous advisories regarding tyre and alignment issues.
