2015 Audi Q7 3.0L Diesel · VF02 TJF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to mechanical wear. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 87,447 miles passed, it introduced new advisories regarding worn bushes on both the nearside front lower and upper suspension arm pins. This marks a departure from the pristine results seen in 2023 and 2025, indicating that components are beginning to reach the end of their service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old luxury SUV, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable period of low usage between September 2022 and May 2023, where only 700 miles were covered in eight months. However, usage has accelerated significantly recently, with over 14,000 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another similar volume in the following year. This increase in annual mileage explains the sudden appearance of wear on rubber-based components and consumable items noted in the latest MOT report. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the bushing play. The tester noted that the movement was not yet excessive, but the presence of wear on both upper and lower arms suggests a looming replacement requirement. You must also verify that the rear all-position lamps flagged as non-functional in May 2026 have been repaired. Additionally, the windscreen damage reported in 2024 should be checked for cracks that may have spread, as the structural integrity of the glass can be compromised over time.
