2014 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · LS14 AUL

The Audi Q7 shows a concerning recent trend in its MOT history, with a failure in March 2025 followed by a pass just days later. The key issues were a severely damaged front tyre, a distorted rear wheel rim, and multiple lighting failures including non-functioning headlights and a broken headlamp lens. These defects indicate potential safety risks related to braking, steering, and visibility. The pattern suggests the vehicle’s condition is worsening. The tyre issue was severe enough to cause a failure, and the repeated lighting problems point to neglect or poor maintenance. While previous MOTs were clean, the gap between the last pass in October 2023 and the latest failure in March 2025 indicates a sharp decline in roadworthiness over a six-month period. Mileage of 88,940 miles over 12 years equates to an average of 7,412 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. However, the sudden deterioration in the most recent MOT raises questions about usage patterns or extended periods of inactivity, possibly leading to tyre degradation or component rust. The vehicle’s condition appears to have worsened recently, especially given the severity of the 2025 failure. The tyre damage and lighting issues suggest either hard use or lack of attention to maintenance.
