2013 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · SC13 UXG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred upkeep regarding consumable components. The most recent test in September 2025 at 126,561 miles flagged multiple advisories including three tyres nearing the legal limit and a pitted rear brake disc. This represents a departure from the clean record in April 2024, suggesting that the vehicle is currently entering a phase where wear and tear require more frequent attention to prevent future failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. There is a significant gap of nearly 14,000 miles between January 2023 and April 2024, followed by another 9,800 miles between April 2024 and September 2025. While the steady accumulation indicates the car is used regularly, the high total mileage of over 126,000 miles places considerable stress on the heavy-duty suspension and drivetrain components inherent to the Audi Q7. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the history shows a progression from thin pads in 2022 to scored discs in 2025. The recurring mention of uneven tyre wear across multiple axles over several years suggests potential alignment issues or failing calipers that should be checked for binding conditions. Given the age and mileage, the inspector should also evaluate the suspension control arm bushes and bushings for signs of play or tearing, as these are common points of failure on this platform that are not always captured during a standard MOT test.
