2021 Audi A7 SLN BLK ED 45TFSI Mhev Q SA 2.0L Petrol · RM09 LEY

This Audi A7 has maintained a clean MOT record with no defects or advisories in the two most recent tests, both passing in January 2025 and January 2026 at 32,718 and 42,064 miles respectively. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been subjected to competent servicing and has not exhibited any systemic failures during these inspections. The most recent test, conducted just six months ago, confirms the car remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though a thorough in-person inspection remains essential to verify conditions not covered by the MOT—such as internal suspension wear or subtle corrosion. The recorded mileage of 42,064 miles over five years equates to an average of approximately 8,400 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for this age of vehicle. There are no gaps in MOT history that would indicate prolonged neglect, nor is there evidence of excessive mileage accumulation between tests. The consistency between mileage increments and test dates implies regular, moderate use without abrupt spikes that might suggest aggressive driving or deferred maintenance. Given the lack of advisories or defects in the MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear components not routinely assessed by the test. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as MOT tests do not probe for progressive degradation in these areas. Brake systems, while not flagged, warrant scrutiny for uneven pad thickness, binding calipers, or corrosion on discs, especially if the vehicle has been exposed to wet conditions. Additionally, the MHEV hybrid system’s battery and cooling integrity should be verified, as hybrid-specific faults are not always captured in standard MOTs. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and underbody, should also be checked for corrosion or damage, as these issues can compromise safety without immediate MOT failure.
