2010 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · S5 DHX

The most recent MOT was recorded in March 2024, which means this vehicle is now significantly overdue for its annual test. This gap in compliance is a primary concern and suggests the car may have been sitting idle or neglected for the last two years. The overall condition trend appears stable, as the vehicle passed its tests with very few advisories over the last five years. There are no recurring major failures, though a hydraulic leak was noted on the nearside front in 2022 and tyre wear and cracking were flagged in 2021. The mileage of 97,094 over 16 years is typical for its age. This suggests a balanced history of use, meaning it has likely avoided the extreme wear associated with high mileage while also avoiding the degradation often seen in vehicles that spend years standing still. A point of caution is the 2024 entry, which notes that undertrays were obscuring some items. This means the inspector could not fully examine certain components, which can sometimes mask leaks or corrosion. A buyer should first verify the current MOT status and check for any signs of hydraulic leaks around the front suspension and steering. Given the time since the last test, a thorough inspection of the tyres for age-related cracking and a check for seized brakes due to potential inactivity are essential.
