2016 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · PJ16 WDO

The vehicle shows an inconsistent maintenance trend characterized by recurring failures regarding consumable components. While the most recent test on 9 October 2021 at 73,489 miles resulted in a pass, the record reveals a pattern of neglecting basic upkeep. The tester noted that both front outer tyres were worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, following a failure in May 2019 where both front tyres and all brake pads were below minimum thickness. This suggests the previous owner tended to run components to their absolute limit rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,349 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase from 52,132 miles in May 2019 to 64,050 miles in October 2020, and finally 73,489 miles in October 2021. There are no significant gaps in mileage that would suggest long periods of inactivity, though the MOT history lacks any recent entries from late 2021 through to the current date in June 2026. This significant lapse in recorded testing means the current roadworthiness cannot be verified through official documentation alone. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The history of thin brake pads in 2019 and worn tyres in 2021 indicates that consumables are frequently neglected. You should examine the brake discs for scoring and check the remaining pad thickness, alongside inspecting the tyre sidewalls for cuts or bulges similar to the damage noted on the nearside rear tyre in October 2020. Given the age and the tendency to run parts to the limit, a detailed check of the suspension bushes and any potential fluid leaks from the drivetrain is also advisable.
