2025 Audi Q4 E-Tron Black Edition 45 Electric · SA25 ABA

A complete absence of MOT records for this 2025 Audi Q4 e‑tron leaves the vehicle without any documented evidence of roadworthiness, meaning there is no official indication of whether it has passed or failed any safety or emissions checks since its first registration. The lack of entries eliminates any trend analysis—neither a pattern of recurring advisories nor a history of clean passes can be established, so the mechanical baseline remains unknown until a fresh examination is performed. Mileage information is also unavailable, preventing any assessment of annual accumulation rates or identification of unusually high or low usage for a five‑year‑old electric hatchback. Without recorded kilometres, it is impossible to infer wear levels on tyre tread, brake discs, or suspension components, and the buyer must treat the vehicle as having an indeterminate usage profile that could range from low‑mileage, gentle city driving to high‑kilometre, high‑speed touring. Given the data gap, a thorough independent pre‑purchase inspection is essential. An EV‑specialist should verify the state of the high‑voltage battery pack—checking state‑of‑charge, voltage balance across modules, and any error codes on the battery management system. Listen for abnormal whine or vibration from the electric motor under acceleration, and feel for any judder or loss of torque that could indicate motor or inverter issues. Examine the regenerative braking system for smooth pedal response and consistent deceleration without pulsation, and inspect the conventional friction brakes for pad wear, disc scoring, or uneven pad transfer. A visual survey of the suspension should include checking for cracked or excessively worn bushings, loose ball joints, and any signs of corrosion on subframe mounting points, while the steering rack should be tested for play or binding during low‑speed cornering. Finally, request any private service documentation that may exist, confirm that all manufacturer recall work has been completed, and ensure the vehicle carries a valid UK registration and insurance. During the test drive, monitor for any steering pull, unusual noises from the front or rear axle, and verify that all electronic driver‑assist features (such as lane‑keeping and adaptive cruise control) operate without fault messages. A comprehensive diagnostic scan of the vehicle’s control modules will reveal latent fault codes that may not be apparent from a visual inspection alone, providing the most reliable indication of the car’s current roadworthiness.
