2010 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · GF60 KZO

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a successful retest on 11 November 2025 at 99,324 miles, though the initial inspection on that same day revealed multiple failures requiring immediate repair. The maintenance record shows a clear deterioration in upkeep standards over the past three years. While the 2022 and 2023 tests passed with only minor cosmetic advisories, the November 2025 examination flagged a malfunctioning engine MIL, defective lighting, and severe tyre degradation across all four corners. The tester also recorded worn front brake discs and a damaged rear reflector. This shift from clean passes to a multi-point failure indicates neglect of routine servicing and consumable replacement. The subsequent pass confirms the owner addressed the critical defects before the test concluded, but the pattern suggests reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The odometer reading of 99,324 miles aligns with the vehicle’s sixteen-year age, averaging roughly 6,200 miles annually. The recorded figures show consistent progression across the available tests, moving from 84,441 miles in October 2022 to 90,248 miles in October 2023, then 97,245 miles in October 2024, before reaching the current total in November 2025. This steady accumulation points to regular daily use rather than long periods of storage or excessive motorway running. The absence of sudden mileage jumps or rollbacks supports the authenticity of the service history. Buyers should expect normal age-related wear on suspension bushes, steering linkages, and drivetrain seals, given the consistent annual distance covered. A thorough pre-purchase inspection must prioritise the braking system and tyre condition. The November 2025 record shows all four tyres approaching or exceeding legal wear limits, with the offside front tyre sustaining a deep cut that breached the ply. The front brake discs also registered wear advisories on both sides. Inspect the replacement tyres to confirm they match the original manufacturer specifications and check for uneven wear patterns that indicate alignment or suspension issues. The persistent failure of the offside rear registration plate lamp across multiple test years suggests a recurring wiring fault or corroded socket behind the bumper. Examine the rear lighting circuit and inspect the underbody for structural corrosion around the wheel arches and sills, as moisture ingress often accompanies neglected exterior trim. Confirm the engine MIL illuminates correctly during ignition and clear any stored fault codes before accepting the vehicle.
