2006 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · M16 BDH

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 26 October 2024 at 128,781 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of clean passes without a single advisory or failure, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,439 miles per year. The distance covered between tests remained steady, such as the 5,811 miles added between 15 October 2021 and 25 October 2022. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still perform a targeted physical inspection. The absence of flagged defects in the DVSA data does not account for service items like cambelt intervals, gearbox oil changes, or the condition of the air suspension, which are common failure points on this model. Focus on checking for slow leaks from the engine seals and inspecting the underbody for surface corrosion that may not yet be structural enough to trigger an MOT failure. The lack of recurring faults regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions indicates the previous owner likely addressed wear and tear before the annual tests. Given the current date of 20 July 2026, the vehicle is now overdue for its annual inspection, as the last valid test expired in October 2025. A fresh MOT is required to confirm the current mechanical state.
