2022 Audi E-Tron S Line 55 Quattro Electric · KY22 LLE

The roadworthiness profile of this 2022 Audi e-tron S Line 55 Quattro is presently clean, with the most recent DVSA examination on 21 March 2026 returning a pass and no advisories or defects recorded. Across the two MOT tests documented, the vehicle has never failed, which means there is no recorded evidence of structural corrosion, brake binding, suspension component deterioration, or emission non-compliance in its official history. The single advisory on file relates to minor windscreen stone chipping within zone A from March 2025, a cosmetic item that the examiner judged as not adversely affecting the driver's view. With only two test entries available, the trend can only be described as stable, and a prospective buyer should be aware that the pattern of defects is too limited to draw firm long-term conclusions about wear characteristics. Mileage accumulation on this e-tron stands at 42,560 miles over a four-year registration period, equating to approximately 10,640 miles annually, which is broadly typical for a premium electric SUV of this age. There is no evidence within the MOT record of any lapse in testing that would suggest an extended period off the road, nor any rapid mileage escalation that might indicate high-intensity commercial or motorway use. For an electric vehicle, this level of usage is generally sufficient to keep the high-voltage battery within its optimal thermal cycling range and to exercise the regenerative braking system regularly, though it is still important to note that MOT testing for EVs does not assess battery state of health, cell degradation, or charging system integrity. The current odometer reading remains consistent across both recorded tests, and the gap between the 2025 and 2026 examinations is exactly one year, indicating continuous use and normal scheduling. Mechanically, this usage rate should have produced moderate wear on the tyres, brake discs and friction material, and suspension bushes, but not the accelerated degradation typically associated with high-mileage operation. Given that the only recorded advisory concerns windscreen stone damage within zone A, a prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the windscreen on inspection, noting the extent and location of any further chips or cracks, particularly near the driver’s primary sightline and within the wiper sweep area, as any future deterioration could require replacement. While no suspension, braking, or steering advisories have been recorded, this e-tron is a heavy vehicle with substantial unsprung mass, and the brake discs, pads, and caliper slides should still be physically inspected for wear, corrosion on the disc surfaces, and any binding that might cause uneven pad transfer. On a test drive, listen for any knocking or clonking from the suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, as air suspension faults on these vehicles can present as uneven ride height or compressor cycling noises. Steering should feel precise and free from vibration at speed, and the regenerative braking should engage predictably without warning lights or fault messages appearing on the driver display. Finally, although the MOT record itself is largely unremarkable, a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with Audi e-tron platforms is strongly advisable, given that the official testing history does not cover battery health, high-voltage system integrity, or the thermal management components which are known concerns on early e-tron models. Verify that the 12V auxiliary battery is in good condition, as this powers critical control modules and is a known failure item on these vehicles regardless of MOT status. Inspect the charging port, cable, and any supplied granny charger for signs of damage or thermal discolouration, and confirm that the vehicle charges at the expected rate on both AC and DC sources. Examine the underside of the vehicle for any fluid residue around the drive units or cooling system hoses, as leaks from the cooling circuits can be difficult to detect without lifting the car. With the MOT evidence confirming a clean and stable roadworthiness record to date, the remaining due diligence centres on the EV-specific systems that fall outside the scope of standard testing.
