2021 Audi A7 SLN BLK ED 55TFSI Mhev Q SA 3.0L Petrol · YA21 GRK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in basic consumable upkeep. While the car passed its June 2025 MOT test at 26,669 miles, the tester identified multiple advisories that were not present in the previous year. The failure to test the rear seatbelts and the perishing noted on three of the four tyres suggest a lack of attention to preventative maintenance items despite the vehicle's premium positioning. The mileage profile is low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,334 miles per year. Between the July 2024 test at 19,095 miles and the June 2025 test at 26,669 miles, the vehicle covered 7,574 miles. This low usage often explains the rubber perishing noted on the tyres, as tyre compounds degrade and crack over time through lack of movement rather than sheer mileage, even if the tread depth remains sufficient. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the tyre set to address the reported perishing and cracking on the offside front and nearside front/rear tyres. The recorded inability to test the rear seatbelts is a significant concern that likely indicates a mechanical failure in the locking or tension mechanism which must be rectified to ensure passenger safety compliance. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers and the suspension bushings for cracking, as these components frequently affect vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods without active use.
