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

A clean two-test MOT record with no advisories whatsoever speaks to a vehicle that has remained structurally tight and mechanically compliant since first testing in 2025, with the most recent examination on 28 February 2026 producing a pass and zero recorded defects. For a 2022 Audi e-tron S Line 55 Quattro, the absence of any flagged corrosion on suspension arms, subframes, or brake lines is particularly reassuring given the weight of an EV battery pack and the well-documented tendency for underfloor corrosion on EVs that have been driven through winter gritting or stored in damp conditions. The fact that no component has reappeared on successive tests suggests that whatever wear exists has not yet reached reportable thresholds, indicating stable roadworthiness rather than a hidden deterioration trend. A prospective buyer should still treat the clean record as a baseline rather than a guarantee, but it represents a solid foundation for further evaluation. With 26,339 miles accumulated over four years, the vehicle is running at roughly 6,585 miles annually, which is broadly typical for its age and segment rather than abnormally low or high. There are no gaps in the testing history to suggest long periods off the road, which is important for an EV because lithium-ion traction batteries benefit from regular cycling and use, while prolonged standing can allow 12V auxiliary batteries, brake calipers, and associated electric systems to deteriorate prematurely. Equally, the mileage is not high enough to raise immediate concerns about excessive wear on suspension bushes, hub bearings, or the regenerative braking system. The usage pattern implied by this mileage is consistent with a mix of urban and longer-distance driving, which is actually advantageous for keeping the battery management system active and the brake calipers freed up through regular operation. Given that the MOT record contains no advisories to work from, the inspection focus should shift to the components most likely to require attention on a high-voltage, heavy EV of this age and specification. On a test drive, listen carefully for any clonks or knocks from the front and rear suspension over speed humps and uneven road surfaces, paying particular attention to the multi-link rear geometry and air suspension components if fitted, as these are known wear items on e-tron models. Brake feel should be tested at low speed with light pedal pressure, where any binding calipers, uneven pad wear against the discs, or judder under harder braking would indicate seized slider mechanisms or warped discs, both of which are common on EVs that rely heavily on regenerative braking and may suffer from corrosion of the friction surfaces during periods of light mechanical braking. The high-voltage battery state of health and the charging system should be verified independently through a diagnostic scan capable of reading cell voltages and degradation metrics, as MOT testing does not assess traction battery condition. Inspect the underbody for any signs of impact damage, corrosion around the subframe mounting points, or fluid leaks from the cooling circuit, which on the e-tron routes through the battery pack and front electric motor. The 12V auxiliary battery, which powers the vehicle's control systems and can cause cascade failures if weak, should be load-tested as a priority. Finally, confirm that all driver-assistance systems, including adaptive cruise, lane keeping, and the parking sensors, calibrate and operate correctly, as misalignment from minor impacts is easily missed without specific MOT coverage.
