2017 Audi A7 3.0L Diesel · JD06 WAY

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the April 2026 test at 69,317 miles. This most recent result follows two consecutive years of defect-free inspections in 2025 and 2024. While the history shows periodic failures, the trend has shifted from recurring tyre-related issues to a consistent pattern of passing without advisories. The absence of defects in the last two annual tests suggests that the previous maintenance issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently being kept in a compliant state. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 2017 vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 13,705 miles in July 2020 to the current 69,317 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of stagnation, nor is there evidence of excessive high-speed or heavy-duty mileage. The data indicates a predictable and moderate driving schedule throughout the vehicle's nine-year lifespan. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyre condition and wheel alignment. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of structural tyre failures, including sidewall tears and bulges flagged in July 2020, July 2022, and March 2024. These repeated failures, particularly the multiple inner tyre tears noted in the March 2024 failure at 55,179 miles, often indicate incorrect tyre inflation, poor alignment, or impact damage. Checking for uneven tread wear across all four tyres is essential to ensure these issues are not persisting. Beyond the tyres, the lack of recorded advisories for suspension components, brake wear, or corrosion is positive. However, given the history of tyre damage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and steering geometry is advised to rule out underlying mechanical causes for the previous structural tyre failures. The vehicle's recent clean records suggest the mechanical integrity is currently sound, provided the tyre and alignment issues have been fully resolved.
