2022 Audi Q8 S Line 55 Tfsi Mhev Quat A 3.0L Petrol · KR22 CXM

A clean MOT record across the last two years indicates that, to date, the Audi Q8 has shown no recorded safety‑critical defects or advisories, with the most recent pass on 20 May 2026 confirming the absence of any noted failures at that inspection. This consistency suggests that the vehicle’s core systems—brakes, suspension, lighting and emissions—have met the statutory standards at each annual check, and there is no evidence of recurring issues emerging in the recent history. At 28,304 miles for a four‑year‑old model, the average annual accumulation sits around 7,000 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a premium SUV of this age. The mileage progression shows no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps between tests, implying a steady, moderate level of wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and fluid reservoirs. While the mileage is modest, components that are mileage‑dependent—like brake discs, clutch wear (if applicable), and suspension bushings—should still be inspected for the usual wear patterns expected at the 30‑k‑mile mark. When conducting a pre‑purchase test drive, pay particular attention to the front and rear suspension geometry: listen for any clunking or knocking over bumps that could reveal worn control‑arm bushings or deteriorating anti‑roll bar links, and feel for any steering pull or vague vibration that might hint at tyre‑related imbalance or sub‑frame alignment issues. Examine the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition for uneven wear, which can be a symptom of mis‑aligned suspension or worn steering components. On the braking front, assess pedal feel for any sponginess, excessive travel or pulsation under firm pressure, which could indicate worn pads, warped discs or ageing hydraulic lines. Observe the vehicle’s ability to come to a stable stop without pulling to one side, and listen for any squeal or grinding that would suggest disc or pad degradation. Finally, verify that all exterior lighting, exhaust emissions and electronic safety systems (such as ABS and electronic stability control) operate correctly, as these were all recorded as compliant during the latest MOT.
