2023 Audi Q4 E-Tron S Line 40 Electric · BP23 KXW

An unusually clean MOT record is the standout feature of this 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron S Line 40, with a single DVSA test on file dated 19 June 2026 returning a pass and no advisories or defects recorded. Because the car is only three years old, the dataset is naturally limited, but what is present is entirely positive: no failure, no advisory, no recorded structural or component concerns. The vehicle became eligible for its first MOT on 1 July 2025 under the current regulations applying to EVs first used from 2018 onwards, and the June 2026 test falls into the standard annual cycle. With no repeat advisories to track and no failure history, the trend line from available data is stable rather than improving or worsening, simply because there is no comparative material. The mileage profile warrants more attention than the test sheet itself. At 73,936 miles recorded against a three-year-old vehicle, the annual accumulation rate is approximately 24,645 miles per year, which is markedly above the typical UK average of around 7,000 to 10,000 miles and is at the heavier end of the spectrum even for a company car or motorway commuter. There are no testing gaps visible in the DVSA history because only one test has been logged, so mileage continuity cannot be cross-checked against test certificates, but the headline figure alone points to sustained heavy use. Mechanically, this level of annual mileage on an EV means the high-wear items are still the traditional chassis components rather than the powertrain: brake discs and pads, suspension bushes, coil springs, anti-roll bar links, wheel bearings, and tyres will all have accumulated significantly more stress than the odometer reading on a lower-mileage example might suggest. Audi's regenerative braking system does reduce pad wear in normal driving, but discs can still suffer from surface corrosion if the vehicle is predominantly used for short urban cycles, while heavy motorway mileage tends to glaze pads and leave them less reactive when suddenly called upon. For a prospective buyer, the absence of recorded advisories means the pre-purchase inspection should concentrate on the wear items most likely affected by the mileage rather than chasing specific MOT-flagged defects. On a test drive, listen for clonks or knocks from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven road surfaces, particularly from the lower control arms, anti-roll bar drop links, and top mounts, as these are common service items at this mileage band. Feel for any vagueness or tremor through the steering wheel that could indicate worn tie rod ends or front wheel bearings, and pay attention to whether the car pulls to one side under braking, which on an EV can sometimes point to a binding caliper stuck partially applied due to infrequent use of the friction brakes. Check the brake pedal travel and firmness, and inspect the discs visually for an outer lip and any pitting or corrosion ring around the perimeter, as regen-heavy EVs frequently show surface corrosion that may need disc refurbishment even when pad material is still ample. Tyre condition is another priority given the mileage, as a set of original Audi-spec tyres is unlikely to have lasted the full 73,000 miles, so confirm brand, age, and tread depth across all four corners and check for uneven shoulder wear that could indicate misalignment. Inspect the underside through a ramp or by lifting the car for any signs of fluid weeping from the suspension struts, drivetrain seals, or the cooling system, as even silent EVs have substantial thermal management plumbing that can degrade. Finally, verify the high-voltage battery state of health through Audi or a specialist diagnostic tool, as no MOT data captures this, and confirm that the charging history and any recall or software update work have been documented, since these records sit outside the DVSA dataset entirely.
