2019 Audi A7 3.0L Diesel · T100 XER

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward neglecting minor consumable items. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 74,260 miles passed, it introduced an advisory for a nearside front inner tyre worn to the legal limit on the edge. This mirrors an advisory from the May 2025 test at 62,594 miles where both the nearside front and nearside rear tyres were flagged for similar wear. The persistence of these issues suggests a lack of proactive tyre replacement or alignment checks. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per annum. The record shows a steady accumulation of miles between 2022 and 2024, where the car covered roughly 20,000 miles over a 24-month period without any recorded defects. However, usage increased between February 2024 and May 2025, with over 21,000 miles covered in fourteen months, which likely contributed to the emerging wear on suspension components. A buyer must inspect the rear suspension closely during a physical evaluation. The 2025 test flagged light misting of oil on both nearside and offside rear shock absorbers. While this did not cause a failure, it indicates the beginning of seal degradation which will eventually lead to damper failure. The recurring inner-edge wear on tyres also indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require a professional diagnostic check to prevent premature tyre destruction. Additionally, the presence of child seats during the last two tests prevented a full inspection of the adult seatbelts, so these should be manually checked for fraying or mechanical obstruction.
