Our Verdict
This 2015 Audi Q7 presents a generally clean recent test history with below-average mileage for its age. Buyers should note the recurring pattern of initial MOT failures followed by immediate retests in recent years, though no specific component defects were recorded.
When viewing this 2015 Audi Q7, examine the paper trail to understand why the vehicle failed its MOT tests on 14 March 2024, 10 October 2024, and 6 October 2025 prior to passing days later. Check whether these initial refusals were administrative or related to preparation issues. Ensure all standard equipment, particularly electronics and the air suspension system if fitted, operates correctly during a test drive.
Running a large 3.0-litre diesel SUV like the Audi Q7 involves substantial outlays for fuel, road tax, and insurance, which typically falls into a higher insurance group. Maintenance costs for luxury German SUVs can be elevated, especially for consumable items like tyres and brakes. Estimated annual running costs for this vehicle sit around £1,800-£2,200 depending on annual mileage and insurance profile.
Pay close attention to tyres, headlamps, and suspension arms, which are noted as the top MOT failure reasons for Audi Q7 models in aggregate data. Inspect the tread depth and wear patterns across all four corners, check that all exterior lighting functions properly, and listen for any knocking or unusual noises from the suspension over rough road surfaces. Verify the condition of the braking system and look for any fluid leaks around the 2967.0cc engine bay.
First registered in September 2015, this black Audi Q7 is powered by a 2967.0cc diesel engine and has covered 80,445 miles as of its October 2025 MOT test. The vehicle's MOT record shows three passes following initial failures between March 2024 and October 2025, but crucially contains zero recorded defect advisories during these tests.
The Audi Q7 achieves an average MOT pass rate of 86.0% across 48,598 analysed vehicles, with common failure points typically centred on tyres, headlamps, and suspension arms.
