2020 Audi Q7 SLN BLK ED 50TDI Mhev QTO A 3.0L Diesel · KA20 ASA

The most recent MOT, carried out on 2 February 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle presently meets the statutory safety and emissions standards. Across the five‑year MOT record the only blemish was a dangerous failure recorded on 3 June 2024 for a near‑side front outer tyre with exposed ply, accompanied by an advisory on the off‑side front tyre. The failure was remedied by the following day’s pass, suggesting that the issue was addressed promptly and that the overall maintenance trend has been stable, with no recurring faults evident in the subsequent tests. At 59,338 miles the Q7 has averaged roughly 9,900 miles per annum since its first registration in 2020, a usage pattern that sits comfortably within normal private‑owner expectations. The mileage is neither excessively high nor unusually low, implying the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high‑speed or heavy‑load duty, but it also does not suggest prolonged periods of inactivity that could lead to age‑related deterioration. Consequently, wear on consumables such as brake discs, clutch components and suspension bushings should be commensurate with a mid‑life diesel SUV and not unusually accelerated. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the condition of all four tyres, confirming that the damaged front tyres have been replaced with tyres of the correct specification and that the tread depth exceeds the legal minimum of 1.6 mm, with an even wear pattern across the left‑right and front‑rear axles. During a test drive listen for any thumping, vibration or steering pull that could indicate a mis‑aligned wheel or a tyre that is not correctly seated on the rim. Inspect the wheel rims for cracks or corrosion, and verify that the tyre pressure sensors (if fitted) are operational, as faulty sensors can mask under‑inflation which accelerates tyre wear. Given the vehicle is now six years old, a thorough age‑related inspection is advisable. Examine the sidewalls of all tyres for cracking or dry‑rot, a common issue on vehicles that have spent time standing. Check the 12‑volt battery for signs of sulfation and verify that the cranking voltage is above 12.4 V; a load test at a reputable garage can confirm remaining capacity. Inspect the suspension for worn bushings, cracked coil springs or any clunking when the wheels are rocked, and ensure the brake discs are free of excessive rust or scoring, especially on the rear drums if equipped. Finally, confirm that the service history shows timely oil, filter and coolant changes, and that the timing‑belt (or chain, depending on the engine variant) has been serviced in line with the manufacturer’s interval, as failure of these time‑based items can lead to costly engine damage.
