2015 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · LG65 CTY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative upkeep. The most recent test in July 2025 at 88,920 miles passed with an advisory for an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and showing edge cracking. This indicates that while the vehicle meets minimum safety standards, the owner is only beginning to address wear on consumable components after a period of relatively clean records in the preceding two years. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a luxury SUV of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between July 2022 and July 2023, the vehicle covered 6,455 miles, followed by a more significant increase of 13,434 miles in the following year leading to the 2024 test. This activity suggests the car is not sat stationary for long periods, which prevents seal degradation but the heavy weight of the Q7 places specific stress on rubber-based suspension components and braking systems regardless of the relatively low odometer reading. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, following the failure in July 2024 at 75,901 miles where a nearside rear coil spring fractured. Control arm bushes and shock absorbers should be checked for signs of tearing or leaking, as the previous spring failure often stresses adjacent components. The advisory on the offside front tyre in 2025 suggests a potential alignment issue or uneven wear that requires investigation to prevent rapid premature tyre degradation. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the underbody for corrosion and verifying the condition of the brake discs are essential steps for a thorough mechanical assessment.
