2022 Audi Q7 SLN BLK ED 50TDI Mhev QTO A 3.0L Diesel · ML71 LOJ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of reactive maintenance. The most recent MOT conducted on 14 November 2025 at 48,414 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a single-day failure on 30 January 2025 at 42,934 miles, which was rectified quickly enough to secure a pass the very next day. The transition from a failure to a clean-sheet result indicates that the previous owner was proactive in addressing immediate compliance issues rather than allowing faults to escalate into neglect. At 48,414 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 12,100 miles per year, which sits slightly above the national average for a high-end diesel SUV. The data shows a significant burst of activity between January 2025 and November 2025, where the car covered 5,480 miles in just under ten months. This consistent mileage accumulation suggests regular motorway use, which is generally beneficial for diesel particulate filter systems compared to frequent short city trips. The lack of recorded advisories in the two most recent tests suggests that the chassis and mechanical components remain in good condition despite the higher-than-average usage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension bushings and lateral components, as these often bear the brunt on heavy vehicles like the Q7. While the MOT record is currently clean, the failure in early 2025 warrants a closer look at the specific component that caused the rejection to ensure it was not a symptom of a deeper mechanical issue. Inspect for uneven wear on the brake discs and pads, as the 48,000-mile mark often coincides with the interval where consumables require replacement. Checking for signs of oil leaks around the underbody is also advisable to confirm the high-mileage usage has not stressed the drivetrain seals beyond normal limits.
