2020 Audi Q7 S Line 55 Tfsi Mhev Quat A 3.0L Petrol · KM20 OJD

Recurring advisories regarding suspension components and tyre integrity, alongside a recent failure in July 2026, define the mechanical profile of this vehicle. While the 2026-07-10 test resulted in a pass, the record shows a downward trend in component condition compared to the clean results seen in 2023 and 2024. The most recent inspection flagged an offside front suspension arm pin or bush as worn, a condition that was also noted as an advisory during the failed test on 2026-07-03. Additionally, the transition from a major failure for tyre cuts on both front tyres in early July to a single advisory for a cut on the nearside rear tyre suggests recent replacement of the front set, though the rear tyre remains a point of concern. The vehicle has covered 36,555 miles over approximately six years, averaging roughly 6,092 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent with typical annual accumulation for a vehicle of this age and does not indicate excessive high-speed motorway running or unusually heavy load cycles. Mechanically, this moderate mileage suggests that while major drivetrain components may not have faced extreme wear, the frequency of advisories for consumables such as brake discs and tyres is notable for a vehicle with relatively low total mileage. Prospective buyers should focus heavily on the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection and test drive. The advisory regarding the offside front suspension arm pin or bush warrants careful attention; listen for any rhythmic knocking, clunking, or creaking sounds when navigating uneven road surfaces or speed bumps, and check for any wandering or pulling in the steering if the bush has degraded further. The brake discs have been flagged as worn in multiple tests, including the July 2026 inspection, so it is essential to check for pedal judder or vibration under braking, which could indicate disc thickness or surface irregularities. The presence of a chipped windscreen and the advisory regarding a cut in the nearside rear tyre should also be addressed. While the windscreen chip is a minor visibility and structural integrity issue, the tyre cut requires a close inspection to ensure no internal cord damage is present. Given the history of tyre failures and worn brake discs, a thorough check of the remaining tyre tread depth and the condition of the brake pads alongside the discs is recommended to ensure the vehicle meets the standard expected for its recorded mileage.
