Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the high mileage and imminent maintenance requirements. While the Audi Q7 is a premium SUV, this particular example has been driven heavily and requires immediate investment in consumables.
When inspecting this vehicle, the primary focus should be on the braking system. The MOT history from February 2026 highlights worn front discs and thin pads, which are expensive components on a vehicle of this size. You should negotiate the price down to cover the cost of a full brake overhaul, as these parts are clearly at the end of their service life.
Additionally, check the service history thoroughly to ensure the 3.0-litre petrol engine has received timely oil changes. Given the high mileage, verify that the suspension air bags and electronic systems—common weak points on high-mileage Q7s—are functioning correctly without warning lights on the dashboard.
Running a 3.0-litre petrol Q7 is a significant financial commitment. Expect relatively poor fuel economy, especially in urban environments, given the vehicle's weight and engine capacity. Furthermore, as a premium SUV, insurance premiums and road tax for a vehicle registered in 2022 will be at the higher end of the spectrum.
Maintenance costs will also be elevated due to the premium nature of the parts required. With 90,000 miles on the clock, you should budget for ongoing suspension and drivetrain upkeep. The estimated annual running cost, excluding depreciation, is approximately £3,500-£4,500 depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Start by inspecting the front brake discs and pads; the MOT advisories confirm these are pitted and thin, requiring immediate attention. Check the front tyres, as the nearside tyre has been flagged for uneven wear, which could indicate a tracking or alignment issue that needs professional correction to prevent premature tyre replacement.
Examine the windscreen for the damage noted in the MOT history. While currently not obstructing the view, such chips can spread into cracks over time, potentially leading to a costly replacement. Finally, check all lighting, including the fog and reversing lamps, as these were previously flagged as inoperative during the January 2026 test.
This 2022 Audi Q7 has covered over 90,000 miles in less than five years, indicating a high-usage history likely involving significant motorway travel. While it has passed its most recent MOT, the advisory notes point to neglected maintenance regarding braking components and tyre wear. Prospective buyers should account for the immediate cost of refreshing these wear-and-tear items before committing to the purchase.
While aggregate data is not available, the Q7 is a complex vehicle; high-mileage examples like this one are prone to wear on suspension components and electrical sensors.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2022 model year cars.
- NOx Sensor / AdBlue System FaultsModerate
Diesel SCR faults are the most common high-value annoyance on the 4M, often causing AdBlue warnings and eventual no-start countdowns even when the tank has been topped up.
- Air Suspension Strut / Compressor FailureSerious
The 4M rides beautifully on air, but leaking struts or tired compressors can leave the car sagging and trigger costly chassis warnings.
- MMI / Electrical Module GlitchesModerate
Owners commonly report frozen MMI screens, camera faults, battery drain, and keyless-entry glitches - usually software or module related, but expensive if neglected outside warranty.
