2022 Audi E-Tron Black Edition 55 Quat Electric · T11 ACS

The most recent MOT test conducted on 21 July 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in July 2025, establishing a stable and consistent maintenance trend regarding the vehicle's statutory safety requirements. The absence of any advisories during these inspections suggests that the vehicle's essential systems, including lighting, braking efficiency, and structural integrity, were found to be within acceptable operational parameters at the time of testing. The recorded mileage of 80,961 miles indicates a high annual usage rate of approximately 20,240 miles, which is considerably above the typical average for a vehicle of this age. This level of accumulation suggests the vehicle has likely been used extensively for long-distance or motorway commuting. While consistent high-speed driving can sometimes be less abrasive on certain mechanical parts than stop-start urban driving, the sheer volume of mileage will have accelerated the wear on consumable components. You should be prepared for the fact that suspension components, braking hardware, and tyres may be closer to their replacement thresholds than a lower-mileage vehicle. Given the clean MOT history, your inspection should focus on wear-related items that may not yet have reached a failure threshold. During the test drive, pay close attention to the suspension by listening for any knocks, clunks, or vibrations when driving over road imperfections, which could indicate worn bushes or degraded dampers. Examine the brake discs for excessive grooving or thinning and ensure there is no shuddering under braking, which could signal warped discs or binding calipers. Additionally, check the tyre tread for uneven wear patterns, as this can be an early indicator of suspension geometry issues or incorrect wheel alignment resulting from high-mileage usage. Finally, verify the vehicle's service history to confirm that all manufacturer-recommended maintenance intervals have been strictly adhered to, as MOT tests do not cover general mechanical servicing. For an electric vehicle with this usage profile, ensure the 12V auxiliary battery is healthy and check for any signs of fluid leaks from the cooling systems. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for any perishing, though tread depth and wear will be your primary concern. Confirm that the service book contains regular stamps to validate that essential items like brake fluid refreshes and cabin filter replacements have been managed alongside the high mileage.
