The 2007 Audi AllRoad Avant edges out the UK average with an 80.8% first-time pass rate, but nearly half of these cars (44.9%) have recorded at least one dangerous defect during their MOT history—a serious concern for any prospective buyer. This suggests the model has inherent structural or safety vulnerabilities that go beyond typical wear and tear.

These vehicles are averaging 108,600 miles, which is reasonable for a 17-year-old car, yet they're clocking up 3.11 failures per test and a notably high 20.2 advisories, pointing to chronic suspension, trim, and electrical issues rather than one-off problems. Before purchasing, get a full pre-purchase inspection focused on the braking system, suspension geometry, and electrical harnesses—the high advisory rate suggests these are the weak points that will haunt ownership.

We have limited data for the 2007 Audi All Road Avant — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.

⚠️ Over 1 in 5 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.
