The most common reasons a Audi Q7 fails its MOT are a lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning, a spring or spring component fractured or seriously weakened, tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements. If you are preparing your Q7 for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.
