2022 Audi E-Tron Technik 50 Quattro Electricity · GY22 YRJ

A clean MOT pass recorded on 2 June 2025, with no advisories, defects, or failures noted, positions this 2022 Audi e-tron Technik 50 Quattro as a vehicle with an unblemished formal roadworthiness record to date. Given that the car is now four years old, the absence of any flagged items on the most recent test is a positive indicator that the major safety-critical systems inspected under the MOT regime brakes, suspension, steering, tyres, lighting, and structure were all considered to be in a serviceable condition at the time of examination. The lack of advisories is particularly noteworthy on an EV of this age, as it suggests that the components most prone to wear-driven advisory notes, such as brake discs and pads (which can suffer from corrosion due to regenerative braking reducing friction pad use) and suspension bushes, were not yet at a stage where the tester felt obliged to flag them. There is, however, only one MOT on file, which limits the longitudinal trend analysis; a single clean test is encouraging but does not yet establish a consistent pattern of mechanical stability. The recorded mileage of 27,940 miles over approximately four years equates to an annual accumulation of around 6,985 miles, which sits comfortably within the expected range for a vehicle of this age and type. This is neither a low-use car that may have suffered from extended periods of standing, nor a high-mileage example that would raise concerns about accelerated wear on the drivetrain, suspension, or brake components. The steady, moderate usage implied by this mileage is mechanically favourable for an electric vehicle, as it suggests regular battery cycling and thermal management activity, which are beneficial for long-term high-voltage battery health. There are no conspicuous gaps in testing history, and the mileage progression appears consistent with normal private or light commercial use. For a prospective buyer, the absence of MOT advisories means that the test record does not pinpoint any specific components requiring immediate attention, but it would be prudent to conduct a thorough physical inspection given that an EV of this vintage has unique considerations beyond those captured by the MOT. On a test drive, pay particular attention to the behaviour of the regenerative braking system, as brake discs on e-tron models can develop corrosion ridges on the friction surface due to infrequent mechanical braking; listen for any grinding, vibration through the steering wheel, or pulsing under pedal pressure that could indicate warped or corroded discs. Check the air suspension system (if equipped) for any sagging, slow levelling, or warning messages on the dashboard, as the e-tron's adaptive air suspension is a known cost-intensive maintenance item and is not always flagged in MOT data. Inspect all four tyres for uneven shoulder wear, which can indicate alignment or suspension geometry issues, and verify the tyre age stamps as Audi-specified tyres on a heavy EV of this weight can wear faster than expected even at moderate mileages. Beyond the mechanical components, a buyer should also ensure that the high-voltage battery state of health is independently verified, as this is the single most expensive component on the vehicle and is not assessed under any MOT test. Request a full diagnostic scan for any stored fault codes, particularly relating to the battery management system, drive units, and charging system, and confirm that the vehicle has received any outstanding manufacturer software updates or recalls. Additionally, verify the service history for the e-tron-specific items such as the brake fluid renewal (recommended every two years regardless of mileage due to the hygroscopic nature of the fluid in a system that is used less frequently under regenerative braking) and the coolant system services for both the battery and drive units. Finally, inspect the charging port and cable for any signs of damage or wear, and ensure that the onboard charger functions correctly on both AC and DC rapid charging, as these are areas where degradation can occur silently without triggering any MOT-relevant defects.
