Audi A7 (2019)
2019 Audi A7
CarHunch analysed 1,551 real MOT records for the 2019 Audi A7. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Audi A7 passes its MOT on first attempt 84.3% of the time, comfortably above the UK average of 80%, suggesting it's a reasonably reliable choice—though petrol versions perform notably better at 89.8% versus diesel at 83.8%. The concerning note is that 17.4% of these cars have picked up a dangerous defect at some point, which sits on the higher side and warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
At 41,565 miles median, these five-year-old cars are running slightly below the expected mileage for their age, indicating many have been carefully used. The average of 0.42 failures and 3.1 advisories per vehicle points to minor wear items rather than structural problems, but check the full MOT history before buying—particularly the suspension, lighting, and brake components that typically show up in the advisory list for this model.
What to check before buying a 2019 Audi A7
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
