2021 Audi E-Tron Black Edition 55 Quat Electricity · A5 GVK

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 28 March 2026 at 26,879 miles with zero defects recorded. The most recent test confirms all structural, mechanical, and emissions components met DVSA standards at the time of inspection. The two prior advisories, both related to tyre condition, have not recurred, suggesting the previous owner addressed basic consumable upkeep promptly rather than allowing faults to accumulate. At roughly five years old with 26,879 miles, the recorded usage averages approximately 5,376 miles per year, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows a gap of approximately 4,332 miles between the April 2025 test at 22,547 miles and the March 2026 test at 26,879 miles, representing a modest increase over an eleven-month interval. This pattern indicates light, consistent use rather than prolonged standing or aggressive high-mileage accumulation. Low annual mileage can reduce wear on drivetrain and suspension components, but it also warrants attention to fluid ageing, tyre date codes, and brake condition, as infrequent use can lead to surface corrosion on brake discs and uneven tyre degradation. The advisory history is limited entirely to tyre-related defects. On 7 April 2025 at 22,547 miles, both front outer tyres were flagged for wear close to the legal limit and edge wear, which typically indicates alignment issues or sustained low tyre pressures. On 27 March 2024 at 18,033 miles, a nail was found in the nearside rear tyre. Both faults were rectified before the subsequent test, and no further tyre advisories appeared in March 2026. A prospective buyer should still inspect the current tyre date codes, tread depth across all four corners, and sidewall condition, as low-mileage vehicles often have tyres that appear serviceable but may be perished due to age rather than wear. The front tyre edge wear pattern from 2025 also justifies checking wheel alignment and suspension bushes, particularly the front lower arm bushes and track rod ends, to confirm the geometry has been corrected. Beyond tyres, the absence of structural, braking, or exhaust-related advisories across three consecutive MOTs is a positive indicator. A hands-on inspection should still verify the condition of brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, the integrity of suspension coil springs and dampers, and the state of the underside for any corrosion or damage, as low-mileage electric vehicles can still suffer from environmental corrosion if stored or driven in harsh conditions. The battery health and charging behaviour of this E-Tron 55 Quattro should also be assessed independently, as high-voltage battery degradation falls outside the MOT scope and represents the most significant long-term ownership risk on a vehicle of this type.
