2015 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · LS15 CWJ

This Audi Q7 presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 12 November 2025 at 130,643 miles showing no defects—an outcome repeated consistently across all five recorded tests since 2021. The absence of advisories or failures over this period suggests the vehicle has been well maintained in terms of core roadworthiness requirements, including brakes, suspension, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity. The latest test, just eight months prior to today, confirms no immediate concerns regarding major mechanical or safety-critical components. However, while the MOT record is flawless, this does not preclude the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for its age, averaging around 11,877 miles per year over the past five tests. There are no sudden spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that might indicate neglect or infrequent use—mileage increased incrementally from 89,847 miles in November 2021 to 130,643 miles in November 2025. This consistency reduces concerns about accelerated wear from aggressive driving or prolonged storage, though it does not rule out the possibility of deferred maintenance between MOTs. The lack of recorded defects also implies that any routine servicing—such as fluid top-ups, filter replacements, or minor wear checks—has been addressed, or at least not severe enough to trigger an MOT advisory. For a prospective buyer, the primary focus should be on components not routinely checked during MOTs but critical to long-term reliability. Given the vehicle’s age, a detailed inspection of the suspension—particularly the condition of coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings—is essential, as these can degrade without causing immediate roadworthiness failures. The braking system, including caliper condition, brake fluid integrity, and potential binding, should be scrutinised, even though the MOT record shows no issues. Additionally, the drivetrain—such as the differential, transfer case (if applicable), and CV joints—should be checked for wear or leaks, as these are not MOT-tested but can lead to costly failures. Finally, a close examination of the underbody for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and exhaust mounts, is advisable, given that structural integrity is not always fully captured in MOT tests.
