2010 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · SW60 DPF

The most recent MOT from December 2025 indicates a decline in the vehicle's overall condition. While it passed, the inspection flagged several concerns, including a front coolant leak, general underbody corrosion, and worn or pitted brake discs on both the front and rear axles. The condition trend appears to be worsening. After a completely clean report in 2023, the latest test shows a variety of new issues emerging across the cooling system, chassis, and braking components. There is a recurring pattern of brake disc wear, as these were previously flagged as pitted or scored in 2022. The recorded mileage of 142,815 miles is typical for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,926 miles per year. This suggests consistent, regular use, which generally means wear on consumables and suspension components is expected but not indicative of extreme hard use or long periods of standing. The primary risks are the underbody corrosion and the coolant leak. Corrosion can be a progressive and costly issue for a vehicle of this age, and the coolant leak represents an immediate mechanical fault that requires attention to prevent engine overheating. A buyer should first inspect the engine bay for signs of active coolant leaks and carefully examine the underside of the chassis to assess the severity of the corrosion.
