2018 Audi A7 S Line 45 TDI Quattro Auto 3.0L Heavy oil · LL68 LRK

The most recent MOT inspection on 20 June 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. When evaluating the longitudinal maintenance trend, the vehicle shows a clear trajectory of improvement. Earlier failures in 2021 and 2022, which involved tyre integrity, TPMS malfunctions, and worn brake discs, appear to have been proactively addressed. The absence of any advisories in the two most recent tests suggests that the previous issues with consumables have been resolved and the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard. With 83,178 miles recorded over approximately eight years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 10,400 miles per annum. This mileage profile is entirely consistent with typical UK usage for a premium executive vehicle. This level of usage implies that the mechanical components, including the drivetrain and suspension, have not been subjected to excessive stress from high-mileage motorway running, nor have they suffered from the accelerated degradation often seen in vehicles used exclusively for short, low-speed urban trips. The mileage is well-balanced for its age, suggesting a predictable wear rate for major components. During your physical inspection and test drive, pay close attention to the braking system. Although the 2022 MOT advisories indicated worn discs on all four corners, the subsequent clean passes suggest these were replaced. You should check for any brake shudder or pulsation through the pedal under heavy braking, which could indicate warped discs, and listen for any metallic grinding or squealing that might suggest sticking calipers or insufficient pad thickness. Furthermore, examine the tyres for uneven wear patterns, particularly on the inner or outer edges, as previous advisories noted edge wear; such patterns can be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. Given the vehicle's age and the previous history of tyre-related failures, verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system is functioning correctly via the onboard computer. Inspect the sidewalls of all tyres for any signs of cracking or perishing, which can occur even if tread depth is sufficient. Finally, because this is a premium German vehicle, ensure that the service history is comprehensive. Check for evidence of regular oil and filter changes and verify that any major interval services, such as those for the timing chain or coolant system, are up to date to prevent long-term mechanical degradation.
