2022 Audi E-Tron GT Quattro Electric · GY22 UUH

The most recent MOT on 23 June 2026 recorded a pass, but it was accompanied by three tyre‑wear advisories indicating that the off‑side rear tyre is close to the legal limit and that the nearside front and off‑side front tyres are worn on the very edges. The previous test in May 2025 was clean with no recorded defects. This pattern suggests a generally stable maintenance record – the vehicle has passed without failures – but tyre degradation is now the only recurring issue, highlighting a need for timely tyre replacement and a check of the underlying suspension geometry. At 39,765 miles the e‑tron GT is roughly four years old, giving an average annual mileage of just under 10,000 miles. This is comfortably within the typical UK usage envelope and does not point to excessive wear from high mileage. The relatively modest yearly distance also implies that the car may have spent periods of low use or standing, which can exacerbate age‑related deterioration of rubber compounds and battery health despite the moderate mileage. Prospective buyers should prioritise inspecting the tyre condition on the day of viewing. Look for uneven tread wear, sidewall cracking, or bulges that could indicate structural damage. A test‑drive should be attentive to any vibration or shudder through the steering wheel, especially when braking, which may reveal worn tyres or developing issues with the suspension bushings or wheel alignment. Given the advisory on edge wear, it is prudent to have the front and rear wheel alignment checked and the suspension components – such as the lower wishbones and rear subframe mounts – examined for play or corrosion, as misalignment can accelerate tyre wear. Beyond the tyres, the e‑tron GT’s high‑voltage battery and associated cooling system should be verified for proper operation; listen for any abnormal coolant pump noise and confirm that the battery management system reports no fault codes. Inspect the 12 V auxiliary battery for terminal corrosion and test its cranking voltage, as a weak starter battery can affect electronic systems. Finally, confirm that the service booklet shows the recommended calendar‑based fluid changes – brake fluid, coolant, and low‑voltage system coolant – have been performed, and examine the brake discs for surface rust or uneven wear, especially if the car has been stationary for extended periods. Addressing these points will give a clear picture of the vehicle’s roadworthiness and any imminent maintenance outlay.
