Seems exactly my case. My approved used audi q7 plat 65, bought in June 2020 , has brake servo fault and start/stop fault in July (roughly 4 weeks after purchase ). I was hold to wait for 4 weeks to get appointment for repairing, during the first 3 weeks, I drove roughly 300 miles, and then there is red indication saying “brake fault- park safely” instead of the previous two yellow fault. Today I send it to nearest audi dealership, and was told it will cost £3500 to replace brake servo sensor and ABS module as well.
The car is in a two years warranty as approved used audi, So hope it is just a show bill and will be fully covered by warranty. I will check it tomorrow morning.
Just had the dreaded text today informing me basically the above - 17 plate A5 (3.5 years old, around 23k miles in) which I've 'owned' from new (leased from new, then bought). Was completely flabbergasted to say the least - they basically wanted to charge me 10% of the cost of the car from new to fix this one part?!
I called them and spoke to the lady at the dealership, politely querying how a part could wear out so quickly - I didn't mention Sale of Goods Act or anything along those lines. She was very receptvie and said she'd see what she could do. She came back later saying she *thinks* that they can reduce the cost to me by 80%, so still £700 but a lot better than £3.5k!

Not best pleased overall.
