2006 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · SH56 FDY

The 2023‑01‑26 MOT at 177,035 miles passed without major defects, though the front brake pad was recorded as wearing thin. The vehicle has passed every subsequent test since 2016, indicating a stable maintenance record rather than a worsening condition. At roughly 8,850 miles per year the mileage is typical for a 20‑year‑old Audi Q7, but the jump from 67,174 miles in April 2016 to 127,331 miles a year later shows a period of accelerated use. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, as tests occur at least annually, and the record is largely free of long gaps. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring issues flagged in the history: inspect the front brake pads and discs for wear and scoring, examine the rear brake disc for pitting, assess tyre tread and edge wear, check suspension bushes and sub‑frame pins for excessive play, verify headlamp aim and any modification to the parking brake lever, and look for corrosion concealed by the under‑trays and engine covers.
