2021 Audi E-Tron Black Edition 55 Quat Electric · JA20 NDJ

The vehicle’s MOT history presents an unusual but ultimately stable picture of roadworthiness, with the most recent test on 28 November 2025 at 20,852 miles passing without any defects. This follows an identical outcome on 30 November 2024 —a full year prior—despite the car being tested twice on the same day, once resulting in a pass and once a fail, both with no recorded issues. The lack of advisories or defects across these entries suggests the E-Tron has been well maintained in critical areas, though the repeated fail-pass on the same mileage raises questions about tester consistency or potential administrative error. No recurring mechanical trends emerge from the data, and the absence of corrosion, suspension, or brake advisories in recent years implies no serious structural or safety concerns have developed. The mileage pattern is striking: 4,170 miles per year over five years is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age and type, typically indicating either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2024 tests (14,138 miles) and the 2025 test (20,852 miles) —a 6,714-mile jump in just over a year —suggests a recent uptick in usage, though still well below average. Such low mileage reduces wear on consumables like tyres and brakes, but it also means components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and battery health may not have been stressed enough to reveal latent issues. The lack of mileage accumulation prior to 2024 could mean the car sat unused for extended periods, which may have contributed to battery degradation or fluid stagnation if not properly maintained. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection, focusing on areas less likely to be caught in routine tests. The suspension—particularly the rear coil springs and front anti-roll bars —should be checked for wear or sagging, as low-mileage vehicles can still develop fatigue in these components if the car was driven aggressively in short bursts. The brake system , including calipers and discs, warrants close examination for binding or uneven wear, especially since the 2024 fail-pass anomaly might hint at intermittent issues not fully resolved. The exhaust system should be inspected for corrosion or leaks, given the car’s age, and the 12V battery should be load-tested, as prolonged inactivity can shorten its lifespan. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be scrutinised for hidden corrosion, as the E-Tron’s hybrid drivetrain and electric components may have been exposed to moisture or road salt if stored outdoors.
