2023 Audi Q4 E-Tron S Line 40 Electric · AD23 BHF

A spotless MOT record to date indicates that, across the sole test logged on 1 September 2026, the Audi Q4 e‑tron presented no recorded defects, suggesting that no roadworthiness issues have been identified by the DVSA since the vehicle’s first registration. This single pass, free of advisories or failures, establishes a baseline of compliance with the statutory safety and emissions criteria applicable to electric drivetrains. At 19 038 miles after roughly three years of service, the annual average of about 6 300 miles aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a family SUV and shows no evidence of prolonged storage periods or abrupt mileage spikes that might conceal hidden wear. The absence of testing gaps—only one MOT has been required so far—means the mileage progression has been consistently captured, allowing a straightforward assessment of component life cycles such as tyre tread, brake wear and suspension bushings relative to the vehicle’s age. For a prospective buyer, a practical test‑drive should focus on the regenerative braking system and conventional friction brakes: note any pulsation or judder in the pedal under steady deceleration, and listen for squeal or grinding when applying the brakes from moderate speed. Inspect the wheel rims and tyres for uneven wear patterns that could hint at mis‑aligned steering geometry or worn suspension components, and feel for any looseness or knocking when passing over bumps, which would reveal worn bushings or deteriorated coil springs. Verify that all dashboard warning lights, particularly the high‑voltage battery and traction‑control indicators, illuminate briefly on start‑up and then extinguish, confirming that the vehicle’s electronic monitoring systems are functioning correctly. Because the car is an electric model, additional attention should be given to the high‑voltage battery cooling circuit and the charging inlet. Check for any coolant leaks around the battery pack vent and ensure the inlet gasket seals cleanly when the charging cable is connected. During the drive, monitor the range display for sudden drops that are not proportional to speed or terrain, as this can be an early sign of cell imbalance. A brief diagnostic scan at a reputable service centre can confirm the state of health of the battery pack and the integrity of the on‑board charger, providing confidence that the principal power‑train components have not suffered hidden degradation despite the clean MOT history.
