2025 Audi Q6 E-Tron Edition 1 Quattro Electricity · GD25 BAV

The DVSA records show no MOT history for the 2025 Audi Q6 e‑tron Edition 1 Quattro, meaning that no formal roadworthiness test has been logged to date. In the absence of any recorded pass or fail, it is impossible to ascertain whether the vehicle’s maintenance pattern is improving, stable or deteriorating; prospective buyers should therefore treat the lack of data as a risk factor and seek independent evidence of service and inspection work carried out by the owner or a reputable workshop. Mileage for the vehicle has not been disclosed, so a direct comparison with the typical annual mileage of a one‑year‑old executive SUV cannot be made. If the car has been driven only sparingly, components such as the brake discs, pads and suspension bushings may exhibit surface corrosion or uneven wear due to lack of use, while the high‑voltage battery could have experienced a degree of calendar ageing that is independent of kilometres. Conversely, if the odometer reads a high figure for a single year, the powertrain, drivetrain and tyre tread will have been subjected to accelerated wear, and the cooling system for the battery and inverter may be approaching its service interval. In either scenario the buyer should request a detailed log of mileage entries and any supporting service receipts to gauge the true usage pattern. Given the vehicle’s electric powertrain, the most critical checks relate to the high‑voltage battery pack, its thermal management system and the low‑voltage 12 V auxiliary battery. Verify that the battery health report from the dealer shows a State of Health (SoH) within the manufacturer’s warranty limits and that the vehicle has received the latest software calibration, as any degradation can manifest as reduced range, unexpected power loss or charging irregularities. Inspect the coolant level and condition in the battery cooling circuit, looking for any signs of contamination or low volume, and confirm that the coolant has been replaced according to the service schedule, typically every four years. On a test drive, listen for any whine or hum from the inverter and motor, monitor the regenerative braking response for smoothness, and watch for any warning lights relating to battery temperature or charge acceptance. For the chassis and ancillary systems, examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or age‑related hardening, as tyres on a lightly used vehicle can deteriorate even without mileage. Check the suspension components—control arm bushes, shock absorbers and anti‑roll bar links—for any signs of corrosion or leakage, especially if the car has been stored for extended periods. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust or glazing and ensure the pads have sufficient thickness; a brief, firm brake application should feel firm with no pulsation. Finally, confirm that the 12 V battery terminals are clean, the electrolyte level (if applicable) is correct, and that the battery has been tested for cranking voltage, since a weak auxiliary battery can impede electronic functions and pre‑start checks. A full service history, recent diagnostic scan and a professional pre‑purchase inspection will provide the most reliable assurance of roadworthiness in the absence of MOT data.
