2022 Audi E-Tron S Line 55 Quattro Electricity · J28 BUT

The most recent MOT, carried out on 19 May 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, and the preceding test in December 2025 also returned a clean result. This consistent pass‑rate indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard over the past year, with no emerging faults or deteriorating components evident from the official DVSA records. At just under 20 000 miles after four full years, the Audi e‑tron averages roughly 5 000 miles per annum – considerably below the typical UK usage pattern for a family saloon. Such low annual mileage often points to predominantly short‑haul or occasional use, and may also suggest periods of prolonged storage. While the reduced wear on wear‑items such as brake pads, tyres and suspension bushings is a benefit, extended idle periods can accelerate rubber perishing, battery sulphation and corrosion of metal components that are not exercised regularly. For a prospective buyer, the primary visual and tactile checks should focus on age‑related degradation rather than mileage wear. Examine the tyre sidewalls for any cracking, dry‑rot or hardening, especially given the likelihood of the car having sat for extended periods; uneven wear patterns could also reveal mis‑alignment that has not been exercised. Inspect the high‑voltage battery pack and the 12 V auxiliary battery for signs of swelling, electrolyte loss or reduced cranking power, and consider a load test to confirm capacity, as lithium‑ion modules can lose a small percentage of capacity each year even without use. Verify that the brake discs are free of surface rust and that the calipers move smoothly without binding; a light, even pedal feel with no shudder on initial application will confirm the hydraulic system remains healthy. Finally, confirm that time‑based fluid services have been observed – the coolant, brake fluid and gear oil in an e‑tron are typically replaced on a calendar schedule irrespective of mileage. Look for fresh coolant colour and correct level, and check for any oil leaks around the front axle and under the rear sub‑frame, where seals can dry out during long stands. A thorough inspection of the under‑body for corrosion, especially around the battery mounting points and suspension mounting brackets, will help ensure that the vehicle’s structural integrity has not been compromised by prolonged exposure to moisture. If these checks are satisfactory, the low‑mileage, well‑documented MOT history suggests the car is in a sound mechanical condition for its age.
