2017 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · OY17 ACV

The vehicle’s MOT record shows a stable and currently healthy roadworthiness status. The most recent test in March 2026 at 98,931 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the preceding test in March 2025 at 88,305 miles also passed cleanly. That gives two consecutive full passes, which suggests any earlier issues have been resolved. The maintenance pattern is neither worsening nor improving dramatically; it is consistent, with the only notable fault appearing in the March 2024 test. The mileage pattern is roughly typical for the age. At about 10,626 miles per year between March 2025 and March 2026, the car is being used steadily. The largest single-year jump came between March 2023 and March 2024, when the vehicle covered about 18,290 miles, indicating a period of heavy use. Apart from that, the accumulation is even. There is no evidence of long periods standing idle, which is generally positive for seals, brakes, and tyres. The March 2024 test flagged worn front lower suspension arm bushes on both sides. That is the one recurring mechanical concern in the record, and although the 2025 and 2026 passes listed no defects, a buyer should inspect the front suspension in person. At nearly 99,000 miles, the lower arm bushes, ball joints, and anti-roll bar links on a heavy Q7 will be subject to real wear. The March 2022 test noted both front tyres worn near the legal limit with tread damage on the offside, which points to a prior owner skipping basic tyre upkeep, but that has not reappeared since. Brake discs and pads should also be checked for even wear given the vehicle weight and mileage. No structural corrosion or emissions issues have been recorded, which is reassuring, but a physical inspection of the front suspension and braking components remains the sensible step before purchase.
