2017 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · LD67 WXM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on April 14, 2026. While the maintenance trend appears stable, the most recent test revealed a failure just one day prior at 35,853 miles. The tester identified fractured nearside and offside rear coil springs, alongside an ineffective offside windscreen wiper. These mechanical issues were addressed immediately to secure the pass, indicating a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old Q7, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. This suggests limited motorway use or long periods of inactivity. There is a significant gap in records between October 2022 at 15,889 miles and January 2024 at 26,711 miles, where the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles in fifteen months. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, such long intervals can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or seizing of brake components due to a lack of regular use. A buyer must inspect the rear suspension geometry to ensure the replacement coil springs have seated correctly and that no further shock absorber damage is present. Given the low mileage and the age of the vehicle, checking the brake calipers for corrosion or binding is essential, as stationary vehicles often suffer here. The wiper assembly should also be checked for perished rubber or motor fatigue to ensure the previous failure was not a symptom of a broader electrical issue.
