2013 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · PL13 JDO

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent test in October 2024 at 94,211 miles resulted in a pass with only minor damage to the outer walls of both front tyres. This represents an improvement from the clean records seen in 2023 and 2021, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have remained without triggering failures or significant advisories in the most recent inspection cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old luxury SUV, averaging approximately 7,250 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the data between November 2021 and November 2023, where the vehicle covered only 2,183 miles over two years. However, usage increased significantly after 2023, with 6,843 miles recorded in the following 12 months and another 6,643 miles covered prior to the October 2024 test. These consistent intervals suggest the vehicle is being used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber seals and fluid components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas previously flagged by the tester. The January 2020 test identified a non-excessive oil leak and thin rear brake pads; while these were likely addressed in subsequent tests, the engine seals and gearbox gaskets should be visually inspected to ensure the leak has not worsened. Given the age and weight of the Q7, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these components often degrade on heavy vehicles despite clean MOT records. The recent damage to the front tyres noted in 2024 suggests potential curb impact, which warrants a check of the wheel alignment to prevent uneven tyre wear.
