2019 Audi Q7 SLN BLK ED 45TDI Mhev QTO A 3.0L Diesel · GD69 AXX

A pattern of low-frequency component wear is evident in the recent history, specifically regarding tyre condition, which contrasts with a series of clean inspections. While the most recent test on 04 June 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects, the preceding inspection on 09 December 2025 flagged multiple advisories concerning the rear tyres. These advisories noted both sidewall cracking or perishing and tread wear close to the legal limit on the nearside rear, alongside a deteriorated rear registration plate. This indicates that while the vehicle has maintained a pass record since 2022, specific consumable items have reached the end of their serviceable life within the last year. The vehicle's usage profile is characterised by exceptionally low annual mileage, having covered only 23,673 miles over approximately seven years. This averages to roughly 3,382 miles per year, which is significantly below the typical UK average for a large SUV of this age. Mechanically, such low usage can mean that while drivetrain components like the engine and gearbox may have low absolute wear, the vehicle is more susceptible to the effects of infrequent use. The advisories regarding tyre perishing in late 2025 are consistent with this profile, as tyres can suffer from age-related degradation and sidewall cracking even when tread depth remains high due to minimal road contact. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the condition of the rubber components and tyres during a physical inspection and test drive. Given the specific advisories for cracking and perishing on the rear tyres, it is essential to verify if these have been replaced since the December 2025 test. On a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or uneven road noise from the rear axle, which could indicate uneven wear or structural degradation in the tyre carcasses. Furthermore, because the vehicle has been driven infrequently, it is prudent to check for any signs of fluid seepage from seals or suspension components that may have been affected by long periods of inactivity. The deterioration of the rear registration plate noted in the 2025 record should also be verified to ensure it meets current visibility standards. Beyond the tyres, the lack of recorded defects in the 2026 test suggests that the primary mechanical systems were within operational parameters at that time. However, the transition from the tyre-related advisories in late 2025 to a clean result in mid-2026 suggests that maintenance on consumables has been addressed. A thorough check of the braking system and suspension bushes is recommended to ensure that the low-mileage usage has not resulted in any seizing or stiffness in moving parts.
