2023 Audi A7 2.0L Diesel · WD72 DYC

A critical failure regarding tyre safety defines the recent testing history, specifically a dangerous defect on the nearside front tyre tread depth which led to a failure on 13 January 2026. This was rectified shortly after, resulting in a clean pass on 16 January 2026 with no remaining defects or advisories. While the current status is a pass, the record shows the vehicle was presented for testing with tyres worn beyond legal safety limits. The recorded mileage of 24,825 miles is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,275 miles per year. This steady accumulation suggests a regular duty cycle, which generally avoids the degradation associated with long-term standing while ensuring a predictable rate of wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. Given the recent failure and advisory concerning both front tyres, a physical inspection of the current tyre brands and tread depths is essential to ensure quality replacements were fitted. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering alignment and feel for any pull to one side or unusual vibration through the steering wheel, as the simultaneous wear of both front tyres can sometimes be symptomatic of underlying tracking or alignment issues. Beyond the tyre issues, the DVSA record is otherwise clear of structural corrosion or mechanical defects. The buyer should verify that the tyre replacements were documented and check for any uneven shoulder wear on the remaining tyres, which would further indicate a requirement for a professional four-wheel alignment check.
