2016 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · JA55 ALZ

The Audi Q7 presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 29 May 2025 at 90,762 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle clearing its final test cleanly after two earlier failures that themselves carried no listed defects. This suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decay. Recorded mileage sits at 90,762 against a 2016 build, equating to roughly 9,076 miles per year and matching typical use for this age of vehicle. The log shows 65,406 miles on 3 April 2023, rising to 66,943 by 24 April 2023, then 78,976 on 20 May 2024 and 90,299 at the 23 May 2025 failure. Annual accumulation held near 12,000 miles in the last two years, with no standing gaps or sudden jumps that would flag drivetrain neglect. The sparse, clean advisory history gives little evidence of deferred consumable care. The two failures on 3 April 2023 and 23 May 2025 both logged no defects, so no recurring suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion items appear in the data. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust, as the MOT record alone cannot confirm hidden weld or subframe condition. Verify the reason for the no-defect failures with the testing garage, since the DVSA entry offers no fault code or examiner note. Given the absent advisories across five tests, previous owners appear to have maintained the Q7 to a passable standard without flagged worn tyres or binding calipers. Physical checks of exhaust emissions equipment and suspension articulation remain sensible on a ten-year-old SUV before purchase.
