2020 Audi E-Tron S Line 55 Quattro Electric · AP70 LDA

The vehicle presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 24 June 2025 recording a Pass and no advisories or defects noted. The two preceding examinations, conducted on 29 July 2024 and 1 August 2023, similarly returned Pass outcomes with no recorded defects or advisories. This three-year sequence of clean tests indicates a consistent standard of maintenance and suggests the vehicle has not, to date, presented any items of concern at the point of official roadworthiness inspection. For a prospective buyer, this pattern is reassuring and points to a car that has been looked after; however, the absence of advisories should be read alongside the mileage profile, as low-use vehicles can mask wear-related deterioration that may not yet have reached MOT failure thresholds. At 33,174 recorded miles over approximately six years, this e-tron has averaged around 5,500 miles per year, which is well below the typical mileage for a vehicle of its age and significantly lower than what an electric SUV of this size and capability usually accumulates. While low annual mileage reduces wear on mechanical drivetrain components, the electric powertrain and underbody are less mileage-sensitive than an internal combustion drivetrain, meaning the primary concern is not excessive component wear but rather the consequences of prolonged standing and short-trip use. Such usage patterns are commonly associated with brake disc and caliper corrosion, as the regenerative braking system means the friction brakes may be used infrequently, leading to surface rust and the potential for binding calipers that are not immediately apparent. Extended standing periods also accelerate battery degradation at the 12-volt auxiliary level, even when the main high-voltage traction battery remains healthy, and can lead to degradation of brake fluid, coolant, and air-conditioning refrigerant through age-related moisture absorption and chemical breakdown rather than active use. Given the clean MOT record and the low-mileage profile, a prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection that addresses age and standing-related deterioration rather than seeking out signs of high-mileage wear. On a test drive, listen carefully for any clunking or knocking from the suspension, particularly over uneven surfaces, as low use does not prevent the perishing of rubber bushes, and inspect the coil springs and anti-roll bar links for any visible corrosion or cracking. The tyres warrant particular scrutiny: check the sidewalls for cracking or perishing consistent with age rather than tread wear, confirm even wear across the axle, and verify that the manufacturing date codes indicate rubber that has not exceeded six years of service, as older tyres suffer reduced grip regardless of remaining tread depth. The brake discs, although large and well-ventilated on the e-tron, should be examined for any lipping or significant surface corrosion, and a firm brake pedal feel with no pulling to either side should be confirmed. The high-voltage traction battery state of health should ideally be verified through a diagnostic readout, while the 12-volt auxiliary battery, brake fluid (which is hygroscopic and typically requires renewal every two years regardless of mileage), coolant, and air-conditioning refrigerant should all be assessed for age-appropriate servicing. Confirmation of a full Audi main dealer or specialist service history, with documented brake fluid changes and high-voltage system inspections, will be essential in substantiating the clean MOT narrative and ensuring this low-mileage example has not been neglected in areas that the MOT test does not cover.
