2020 Audi E-Tron S Line 55 Quattro Electric · KC59 DOG

A broadly clean MOT record defines the roadworthiness picture for this 2020 Audi e-tron S line 55 quattro, with three tests on file between late 2023 and early 2026 all resulting in passes and no failures recorded. The earliest two examinations, in October 2023 and February 2025, returned clean sheets with no advisories, and the most recent test on 4 February 2026 continued that pass-only trend while flagging a single advisory: a nearside rear tyre recorded as worn close to the legal limit on the inner edge at 2mm of tread. The overall trajectory is stable rather than improving or deteriorating, with the only noted defect being a consumable wear item rather than any structural, braking, or suspension concern. There is no DVSA evidence of corrosion to underbody components, brake pipe issues, or any of the failure categories that typically concern a high-voltage SUV of this age. The recorded mileage of 26,297 miles against a 2020 registration equates to an annual average of roughly 4,383 miles, which is low for the vehicle's age and well below typical usage for a car six years into its life. The testing pattern supports this, with the first recorded MOT in October 2023 falling outside the standard three-year test window point, suggesting the car was either registered late, kept off-road, or otherwise used sparingly in its early years. The gap between the 2023 and 2025 tests, and the further year to the 2026 examination, gives a relatively even spread of inspection points without any single large mileage jump, so there is no evidence of odometer rollback or sudden high-mileage use. Mechanically, this low annual accumulation means reduced wear on friction materials, less thermal cycling stress on the drivetrain, and lower overall fatigue on suspension components, though it also raises the familiar consideration that low-mileage vehicles can experience degradation of fluids, seals, and rubber components through extended standing periods rather than active use. Given the single advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn on the inner edge to 2mm, a prospective buyer should focus their inspection on the suspension geometry at the rear of the vehicle. Inner-edge tyre wear of this kind is commonly associated with incorrect camber, a weakened or perished rear suspension bush, or a sagging coil spring allowing the wheel to sit at an altered angle. On a test drive, listen for clonking or knocking noises from the rear suspension over speed humps and uneven road surfaces, and feel for any vagueness or delay in the rear end's response to steering inputs, particularly through roundabouts. With the vehicle unladen, visually inspect both rear tyres for uneven shoulder wear and compare the nearside and offside tread depths, as any imbalance will confirm a geometry or component issue rather than simple tyre rotation. The braking system and electrical drivetrain warrant specific checks given the e-tron's weight and regenerative setup. Although no brake-related advisories were recorded, the low mileage means brake discs may have suffered surface corrosion from infrequent use, so on a test drive feel for any initial judder or vibration through the pedal at low speed before the regenerative braking takes over. Binding calipers are a known concern on lightly used vehicles, so confirm the car rolls freely when off-throttle at walking pace and that the wheel rotates without resistance when jacked. As the MOT record cannot verify the condition of the high-voltage battery, charging system, or thermal management components, a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist competent with Audi e-tron systems is strongly advised, including a diagnostic read of any stored fault codes in the electric drive modules.
