@@willmitchell255Its true. The Haldex AWD system “locks up and creates 4wd” due to a difference in the wheels rotational speed… Mismatched tyres will cause the system to frequently operate in an AWD condition, which they aren’t intended to do!

No evidence of a oil change for 34,000 miles future damage done. I can't understand how people can pay over £30k on a luxury motor and not spend 120 quid for oil and filter change every 5000 miles.
@@bazzaclarky7445 All right a couple of hundred quid max whats the big deal its a 30k motor. My Honda main dealer does a oil and filter change for £120, I can get it done at a local garage for a lot less.
@@richardlionheart3965 Some punter is going to pay 23k for this. FSH is essential on motors like this especially oil changes.

To be fair this dealer has done everything he can with it but sold with a warranty a single repair could wipe out all the profit.
I’ve owned Audis for over 20 years and in my opinion the more you service them at dealers, the more goes wrong with them. All I do now is change the oil twice a year and filter once a year. I have spent hardly anything on maintenance on my current two Audis, a Q7 and A3 TDI over the last 5 years. The thing that break would still have broken had they been fully serviced, like suspension bushings etc. so save up on service and put the money aside for when something breaks is my advice. I now have over $15000 set aside from not doing regular service and will use this to fix any major issues.
I have the a 2016 Q7 as my personal smoker, and I love it. Reliable, fast, comfortable and classy. I couldn't wish for a better family motor. To be perfectly honest, the non-genuine alloys and odd tyres would put me off more than the lack of history it has. You'll do great with the Q7, they're awesome!
The lack of service history would always worry me. Especially on a car as expensive as this. Another big worry is Landsail tyres is a red flag for me any cheap tyres usually tells me the car was run on a tight budget
What I really can't fathom is that at the point you have some 23 grand budget for a car, you would pick one that is 8 years old with 80k on the clock. It'll have a couple of years left in it, be over 100k and just be one thing after another.
I would agree with your sentiment, I am not a fan of Audi cars, very expensive servicing and arrogant staff in the dealerships. The Q 7 is a big luxo barge, as it moves down the food chain the owners tend to skimp on maintenance- next thing you know big 💥 oh dear - spares or repair!
A car without history has no history. I’ve had a number of car traders try to sell me a car claiming it has full history but they don’t have the documents. That usually equates to one thing unfortunately.
Worse when you travel over 180 miles to buy a vehicle which is advertised with a full service history, only to be told that "it looks like its has been regularly serviced but have no documents". This should be illegal and should be stopped especially when i asked twice if it had a full service history.
I for one would be nervous about spending that amount cash without a service history myself, especially on a complicated motor like the Q7, so well done getting it from Audi, happy days! Lovely car!
Matt, could you do a video talking about tyres? I'm sure you've dealt with tonnes of different brands, and whilst it may seem like a boring video, I'm sure we'd all watch an informative video about which tyres are good value for money, and which ones look like you've taken care of the car when you come to sell it...
Having worked in the tyre industry for 40 years, 30 of them with Bridgestone, I put a lot of faith in judging a cars maintenance levels by the quality of rubber. You start seeing budgets on a car line a Q7 you start to wonder what else the owner has scrimped on.
Wouldnt touch a big Audi with a barge pole,The dealership i know have sold 3 71 plate E trons and they are coming back with major faults they are absolute money pits
Fantastic car,buy more like that. No problems with lots of work that needs doing,no stressing out over "shall I save it or shall I scrap it" and a dead cert to sell quickly. Excellent video.
The fact it doesn't have the original numberplate is a HUGE worry that the front end has been replaced or something not registered officially has occurred. She didnt lose the service, just didnt do any!
$1180 New Zealand dollarydoos each (£560) including fitting for Conti sport contact 6 here, PS4S is pretty much the same price. I had a really nice Honda Accord CL9 I sold for less than a set of those tyres not long ago!
Different tyres on a 4wd vehicle - think differential wear... If buying one of these i would get a very well specced version - no rear or front camera on a long vehicle means parking issues wherever you go... Definitely a high maintenance expense vehicle but a nice cruiser for a big family ..
I remember being in a tyre shop around 15 years ago and a Q7 came in for a set of tires, I nearly fainted when I heard the quote to the owner for the price of the tires! They were £1000 way back in 2010!
Had the same thing, rang each garage that had done MOT. Each one had also done service. The first couple of years had been done at Audi. Ended up with 100 percent SH
If you're ever short on service history, look up the previous mot locations and phone the garages it was mot'd at. I had missing history, did that and it turned out to be previously owned by the mechanic at the garage.
To me, any premium brand car with Chinese tires on it - let alone mismatched tires - tells everything I need to know about priorities of owners and the maintenance they received.
@@vladandrei51 The point is that bent suspension arms etc. can unbolted and replaced, but the vehicle has possibly hit something really hard to bend all the items listed in the MOT fail. Rest of the vehicle these items are attached to if bent needs to go on a jig. Matt says car was pulling to one side on test drive and this is after presumably the £1,800 bill mentioned from the Audi dealer. It seems strange to push CarVertical but appear to only use it after agreeing to purchase the vehicle. Odd.
My old man recently sold his S500 2014 and bought a 2019 Q7 50TDI and he’s quite happy with it to be fair. S500 was an amazing long wheel base and very very well spec however very expensive on fuel … 3 months in he’s quite happy..
It’s an Audi… it needs full regular maintenance or it’s going to be a money pit. Nothing can make up for the engine damage and wear if it hasn’t been serviced regularly this far in its life, so definitely reconstruct that history.
I myself would never entertain a car with no service history but there are plenty out there that would as they dont look after cars themselves or just dont know what theyre doing when buying car.
With a premium car brand, condition is everything. I’ve bought a car with similar history in the past (a Lexus) and managed to get hold of the full service history by making one phone call. As an aside, I’d never buy an Audi with full leather as it tends to go baggy after time. Presumably, larger people buy Audis 🤣
Your valeters still not cleaning the steering wheels as they're all shiney and if they're cleaned they look satin and more like new . Just a thought 😊😊
Ah service records. If only there was a online company that could already access information on a cars history using the vin number or registration plate. Hmm maybe it could be called car something er er vertical. Yeah Car Vertical. If they can't then don't waste your money. Use a company that can.
There’s a reason why the main dealer didn’t retail it. Last MOT looks as if it’s been damage repaired, no way a car like that would fail with that many suspension problems. Sorry looks like a mechanically abused (expensive) family car. Being a diesel going that long without a service assuming there is no further missing history I’d be worried about oil quality with dilution when DPF regens - potential damage done. I’d run a mile but GLWS.
As a detailer if I may say - it’s pointless putting an air freshener in a car without detailing or valeting it properly first, it won’t achieve anything👍🏻
Wheels look aftermarket or an unusual option. Load rating on the tyres doesn’t look right. Rear number plate looks crooked. Coolant leaks very common on these. OEM Rear camera is an essential retrofit.
The one thing I've never been able to get my heard around pn second hand cars is how only the service book seems to disappear, the whole wallet can be there with everything ekse that comes with a new car but no service history..... Who takes the service book out and keeps it in thie house on its own when its as easy to take everything in and store it in a drawer
Never fails to surprise me how people will buy a very expensive premium car (especially a 4x4!) then fit cheap non matching tyres. I drive a 10 year old golf and have had Pirellis on, cheapest I’ve ever gone is Hancooks. Maybe I’m the fool 🤷🏻♂️
Nice BIG family barge that Matt! I am in the same boat as your were in Matt we bought a car from Mercedes-Benz Stockport, it was one they took in as apart exchange.. it has no history at all, they said they would do a service on it for us but didn't provide any paperwork or proof it had been done, the oil does look clean and air filter looks newish but the car has only done 27000 miles, we might just have to start the history from there. Great video as always Matt keep them coming(beats watching the TV anyway) Thanks Mate..
Seriously ! - No service history: "Oh I'm sorry mate, last woman owner from new lost that moving house, BUT I've just spent 3K on it" ....... From a car salesman. Would I buy this: NO. Just answering his question.
Having just checked the MOT on the 20/02/24 it failed due to bent front suspension arms what had they done to bend them ? Having had my fingers badly burned due to a false service history, i now check that any car has been serviced with the dealer. Caveat Emptor with this sample.
Great find. Lucky to get the service history. That at least proves the car has been looked after. I'm making sure my Suzuki is serviced every year and the book stamped. Not planning on selling it soon though
Don’t be concerned Matt, with that age and mileage, Audi has to have some information on it. Example, my 2017 BMW had no history when I bought it 6 months ago. I bought it at a BMW dealer in Dallas Texas. So, prior to signing, I went to the service department and Bingo, they had every service from new!
I just love it 15 minutes 29 seconds into your video you say, “So shall we park somewhere scenic, I know Park beside my new bin”. OMG trade can't be that bad if you can afford to buy Stockport just so you can park besides a new BIN…. LOL…
Surely the lady knows where she had it serviced and you could contact the workshop and all the details. My Mercedes repair shop and the Harley dealership both keep online records.
Matt, all new Audi models from year 2014 onwards now have Digital Service History records.
Thing is though
Yes its digital. But keep at least the recicits
Whenever i hear they only keep it digital i become just suspesisios :)

A recent service would not satisfy me.
If it has not been serviced for ages then the 'damage' has been done with the lack of oil changes.
Good point
yep particularly with Vag cars. Audi has to have perfect service
Omg it’s been ‘Landsailed’ … walk away
30k mile gap in that service history is shocking
My exact thought. Walk away
He cant walk away hes already bought it!
Think in this game you take what comes from the dealers , once you start being picky they will ring someone else
typical here in the US where the fattest cats and as well thinnest cats dn't take care of their nice cars. Trash society, ignorance and entitled.
The Q7 is popular among mums in Surrey who cant park
Or reverse.
CORRECT!
Mums...
Females in general cant park or drive 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And Buckinghamshire
Expected it to have 3D number plates on!

😂😂😊😊
Dont fucking touch it 34k miles without a service 😂.
yeah thats not good is it🤣🤣
You’re growing as a mechanic, number plates now washer fluid and not forgetting auto gearbox service but of course not by your soft hands.
Service history could be with the dealer. It’s an online system.
'If' it's been serviced by the dealer network. Not much money in this TBH
@@Wingineer watch the video
History is a record of how it's been maintained that's why they are important, mixed tyres isn't a good start.

I just love it 15 minutes 29 seconds into your video you say, “So shall we park somewhere scenic, I know Park beside my new bin”. OMG trade can't be that bad if you can afford to buy Stockport just so you can park besides a new BIN…. LOL…
Lovely car, and great vid as always. Glad you've had some luck for once.
Once again loved the car loved the video “ well done Matt you always make the car 🚗 brilliant “ happy days yours Al 👍👍👍👍
Surely the lady knows where she had it serviced and you could contact the workshop and all the details. My Mercedes repair shop and the Harley dealership both keep online records.
Front tires DOT1222 and 2,5mm thread. That's a curvy lady ;-)!
