2021 Audi Q4 E-Tron S Line 40 Electricity · LC71 FVZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-06-06 at 12,415 miles confirmed full roadworthiness with no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance record over the past year. The absence of recurring issues in either of the last two tests—both passing cleanly—suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, if minimal, mechanical oversight. However, the lack of any advisory notes means there is no historical evidence of deferred repairs or deferred maintenance, though a thorough in-person inspection remains essential to verify hidden wear, particularly given the low mileage. The recorded mileage of 12,415 miles over approximately five years equates to just 2,483 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests—1,077 miles between the 2024-11-12 and 2025-06-06 MOTs—further suggests the car may have spent extended periods stationary. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on drivetrain and suspension components, prolonged inactivity can accelerate issues such as tyre degradation, battery sulphation, or minor corrosion in wheel arches and underbody. The lack of intermediate servicing records means no confirmation exists that fluids (coolant, brake fluid, differential oil) were changed or that suspension components were inspected for dry rot or bush deterioration during this period. Given the sparse MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear items that are not directly tested during an MOT. The brakes, despite passing, should be examined for uneven pad thickness or glazing, as binding calipers or warped discs could develop without visible tread or fluid leaks. Suspension bushes and coil springs—critical for handling and alignment—require visual and functional checks for cracking or excessive play, particularly if the vehicle has been stored on uneven surfaces. Underbody corrosion, especially around wheel arches and sills, should be scrutinised, as static conditions can accelerate rust progression even at low mileages. Finally, the battery and charging system warrant immediate testing, as a vehicle left unused for prolonged periods often develops parasitic drains or failing alternators.
