2017 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · KE55 GAB

This 2017 Audi Q7 presents a stable overall roadworthiness trend, culminating in a clean pass on March 12, 2026, at 54,476 miles with only minor advisories noted. The historical data reveals an improving attitude toward basic upkeep, as the vehicle transitioned from frequent first-time failures between 2023 and 2025 straight to an unblemished pass at its most recent test. The current advisories highlight worn nearside and offside front upper suspension arm bushes that have not yet developed excessive movement, which indicates impending front-end component renewal rather than an immediate structural failure. Accumulating 54,476 miles over roughly nine years yields an annual average of about 6,053 miles, placing this vehicle squarely within typical usage parameters for a large premium SUV. The mileage progression runs consistently through early 2020 at 24,734 miles and late 2021 at 29,864 miles, followed by steady annual testing increments of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles leading up to the March 2026 examination. This regular cadence points to steady, moderate use without extended periods of inactivity that often cause corrosion or seal degradation, though the low annual mileage still demands close scrutiny of consumable components. A prospective buyer should prioritize inspecting the front suspension geometry and the braking system during an in-person viewing, given the vehicle history. The MOT record shows a recurring pattern of consumable neglect, marked by a February 2023 failure for thin pads and scored discs, a March 2024 failure for dangerously thin front and rear brake pads, and a February 2025 failure for a bald nearside front tyre alongside earlier notes of perishing rubber. You must verify the current condition of the brake discs and pads, check the upper suspension arm bushes for accelerated play, and inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking to ensure past preventative habits have truly turned a corner.
