2018 Audi A7 3.0L Petrol · SB18 WZR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in April 2026 at 114,982 miles. While the MOT history shows a clean record for several years, the most recent inspection indicates a sudden decline in preventative maintenance. The car failed a test just five days prior to its pass at 114,749 miles due to a critical sidewall cut with exposed cords and a nail in the front tyre. This suggests the previous owner only addressed safety-critical defects when forced by the tester rather than performing proactive checks of consumable components. At eight years old with nearly 115,000 miles, this A7 has seen significantly above average mileage, averaging approximately 14,400 miles annually. The data shows consistent, heavy usage between 2023 and 2025, where the vehicle covered over 30,000 miles in two years. However, the jump of 27,000 miles between April 2025 and April 2026 highlights a period of very high-intensity driving. This rapid mileage puts significant strain on the Audi's complex components, particularly the suspension bushings and drivetrain assemblies, which are prone to accelerated wear at these distances. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the wheels and suspension, as the tester flagged distorted inner rims on both front and rear nearsides. Such damage indicates significant impacts that could have compromised the steering geometry or damaged wheel bearings. The presence of chips in the windscreen within the swept area also requires replacement to prevent the cracks from spreading under thermal stress. Given the high mileage and the recent failure for tyre damage, a thorough check for oil leaks and play in the control arm bushings is essential, as the record suggests a reactive rather than preventative approach to vehicle upkeep.
