2015 Audi A7 3.0L Diesel · RV65 VWE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the June 2026 test at 144,017 miles. This recent result follows two consecutive years of defect-free inspections in 2024 and 2025, indicating that the previous issues with consumables have been addressed. The maintenance trend has moved from a period of neglect regarding tyre maintenance and windscreen integrity in 2023 to a more consistent standard of upkeep in the most recent three years of testing. The mileage profile shows significant accumulation, averaging roughly 13,000 miles per year over its eleven-year lifespan. A notable surge in usage occurred between the August 2021 test at 74,275 miles and the May 2024 test at 129,358 miles, where the vehicle covered over 55,000 miles in less than three years. This high-mileage usage pattern suggests frequent long-distance driving rather than short urban trips, which typically places higher demand on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyres. While the 2021 test flagged pitted and scored front brake discs, the subsequent clean records suggest these were replaced, but the mechanical condition of the calipers and pads warrants verification. The history also shows a recurring pattern of poor tyre maintenance, specifically failures in 2020 and 2023 due to low tread depth and structural lumps. Given the high mileage, a close examination of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers is necessary to ensure the chassis has not suffered excessive wear from the increased load.
