2009 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · RV09 AAE

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2025 at 145,297 miles without any recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a sign of improvement following a period of intermittent failures. While the car failed tests in both 2023 and 2024, the immediate passes on the retests indicate that the previous owner addressed the specific mechanical or safety faults to bring the vehicle back to legal standards. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 145,297 miles represents an average usage of approximately 8,500 miles per annum. This aligns with typical usage for a large luxury SUV. The data shows consistent use between tests, with roughly 6,300 miles covered between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 3,450 miles between March 2024 and April 2025. This steady pattern suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals, rubber components, fluid systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the recurring failures in 2023 and 2024, as the record does not specify the exact reason for those drops. Common issues on this model often involve wear-related components such as suspension bushes, control arm wear, or exhaust emissions. Given the age of the Q7, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and subframe integrity is essential. You should also inspect for signs of oil leaks from the engine or gearbox to ensure that the clean MOT history does not mask underlying mechanical degradation that the standard test does not cover.
