2015 Audi A7 3.0L Diesel · S2 CKN

The 2015 Audi A7 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 5 January 2026 at 80,119 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is significant. It shows the vehicle has been brought up to a fully compliant standard after a period of accumulating minor advisories in earlier years. The most recent test confirms no outstanding safety or roadworthiness concerns at the current mileage. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,284 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 56,535 miles and the January 2024 test at 63,642 miles, approximately 7,107 miles were covered in just over thirteen months. The subsequent jump to 69,984 miles by January 2025 and then to 80,119 miles by January 2026 indicates a sustained increase in annual usage, with around 10,135 miles covered in that final twelve-month window. This is not excessive, but it does mean consumable components such as brake pads, discs, tyres, and suspension bushes have seen accelerated wear in the most recent period. The January 2024 test at 63,642 miles flagged two items worth noting. Front brake pads were wearing thin, and the nearside front suspension arm pin or bush was worn, though not yet producing excessive movement. Both of these are typical wear items on a heavy executive car of this age and mileage. The clean January 2026 result suggests the brake pads were likely replaced and the suspension bush addressed, but a buyer should still verify the condition of the front brake discs for scoring or lipping and check the nearside front lower arm bush for any play or deterioration. Uneven tyre wear was also flagged in January 2025, with both front tyres showing low tread and inner edge wear. That pattern points to possible tracking misalignment or worn suspension geometry components. A four-wheel alignment check and close inspection of the front tyres for continued inner edge wear would be prudent before purchase. Beyond the documented advisories, the structural integrity of the vehicle deserves attention. At eleven years old, corrosion around the subframes, inner wing arches, and suspension mounting points is a common concern on Audi models of this generation. The absence of any corrosion-related advisories in the record is encouraging, but a physical inspection underneath remains essential. The exhaust system, engine mounts, and gearbox should also be examined given the increased mileage in the most recent year. Overall, the MOT record reflects a vehicle that has been maintained to a reasonable standard, with defects identified and rectified rather than ignored.
