2010 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · SD60 UGX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the records reveal a persistent trend of deferred maintenance on specific mechanical components. The most recent test in April 2026 at 153,864 miles passed despite a noted non-excessive oil leak and deteriorated registration plates. While the car has passed its annual inspections, the presence of an oil leak across every test since 2022 indicates a chronic issue that the previous owners have opted to monitor rather than rectify immediately. At 153,864 miles over sixteen years, the Audi Q7 averages approximately 9,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a large luxury SUV. The mileage data shows consistent use, with a 13,937-mile gap between May 2022 and 2025, and another 11,823 miles covered in the year leading up to the latest test. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals, though it places consistent load on aging components. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension geometry. The 2025 test flagged worn front suspension arm bushes and corrosion on the rear sub-frame. While the corrosion was not deemed seriously weakened at that time, structural oxidation on vehicles of this age can accelerate if left untreated. Furthermore, the 2025 record noted three tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven edge wear, suggesting potential alignment issues or worn shock absorbers that have not yet been addressed. The braking system also requires scrutiny, as the 2025 inspection identified worn rear brake discs. Given the recurring oil leak mentioned throughout the history, it is vital to verify that oil is not contaminating the brake calipers or discs, which would compromise stopping performance. The current windscreen chip noted in 2025 remains minor but should be monitored for spreading to prevent a future failure.
