2006 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · GP56 LMK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 November 2025 at 148,237 miles. While the vehicle continues to pass, the maintenance trend shows an increase in advisory items compared to the clean records seen between 2018 and 2023. The most recent test noted a damaged front windscreen, which follows a pattern of windscreen damage first flagged in the 30 September 2024 test at 137,386 miles. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 46,214 miles in 2012 to the current 148,237 miles, suggesting regular use rather than long periods of dormancy. This consistent usage pattern typically implies a more predictable wear profile for mechanical components, though the total mileage now necessitates closer scrutiny of high-wear items. The MOT history reveals specific areas requiring physical inspection. The 30 September 2024 test identified corrosion on the rear sub-frame and a minor engine oil leak. While the sub-frame was not noted as seriously weakened, the presence of corrosion on a vehicle of this age is a progressive issue that requires monitoring. The engine oil leak also warrants a check for any worsening seepage or related seal degradation. Prospective buyers should specifically examine the suspension and braking systems. The record shows a history of worn rear shock absorber bushes in 2020 and pitted brake discs in 2013. Given the age and mileage, the condition of all suspension bushings, coil springs, and the integrity of the braking system should be verified. The recurring engine management light issues noted in 2017 and 2020 also suggest that a diagnostic scan is necessary to ensure no underlying sensor or emission faults remain unresolved.
