2015 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · LX65 OCD

The 2015 Audi Q7 presents a clean bill of health on its most recent MOT, passing on 1 July 2025 at 108,117 miles with zero defects or advisories. The maintenance trend is stable and currently improving. A clear failure on 3 November 2022 at 73,847 miles addressed worn front brake pads and excessively worn front upper suspension arm pins and bushes on both sides. The subsequent four consecutive passes, including the latest, confirm those items were rectified and have not returned. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for an eleven-year-old vehicle. Annual usage sits around 9,800 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 73,899 miles in November 2022 to 108,117 miles by July 2025, covering roughly 34,000 miles in just under three years. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the data, indicating regular use rather than long periods of inactivity or recent high-mileage bursts. Despite the clean recent record, a buyer should still scrutinise the front suspension closely. The 2022 failure flagged both nearside and offside upper suspension arm pins and bushes as excessively worn, a defect that on a heavy Q7 often points to neglected preventive maintenance or sustained use on poor road surfaces. Inspect the inner tyre edges for uneven wear, listen for clunking over speed bumps, and check for uneven brake pad wear, since the same test also flagged worn front pads. The rear brakes and all suspension bushes deserve a thorough check underneath, as heavy SUVs of this age commonly suffer from deteriorating subframe and trailing arm corrosion, even if it has not yet triggered a test failure.
