2024 Audi Q4 E-Tron Black Edition 45 Electric · LD73 DPT

There is no DVSA MOT test history available for this 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron Black Edition 45, meaning the vehicle has not yet been presented for statutory testing. In the United Kingdom, cars first require an MOT once they reach three years of age, so given the 2024 registration year and the current date of September 2026, the vehicle is either approaching its first test or has only very recently become eligible. Consequently, no pass or failure outcome, advisory, or defect can be reported from the official DVSA records, and there is no longitudinal trend from which to infer whether mechanical condition is stable, worsening, or improving. Recorded mileage is not provided, and the available data does not allow a reliable comparison between annual usage and the vehicle's age. For an electric vehicle of this type, an annual mileage bracket of roughly 8,000 to 12,000 miles would be considered typical for private use, though some examples may have covered significantly less. Because the car is still relatively new, no mileage gap anomalies are likely to be relevant, but the absence of MOT data means there is no mileage reading cross-checked by a DVSA station at any point during the vehicle's life. It is therefore essential to verify the current odometer reading against the service book and any digital service records held by Audi or its authorised agents, as well as to confirm that the indicated mileage is consistent with the number of charging sessions logged on the vehicle's systems if accessible. As there are no recorded advisories or failure points to address, the inspection focus must shift towards age- and usage-appropriate physical checks that an MOT test would ordinarily highlight. Tyres should be examined closely for sidewall perishing and cracking caused by age rather than wear, as even low-mileage EVs can develop dry-rot due to UV exposure and prolonged standing; tread depth should still be measured across the full width of each tyre, and particular attention paid to the rear axle where regenerative braking can lead to uneven wear patterns. The high-voltage 12V auxiliary battery, which powers ancillary systems, should be tested for state of health, as these units can degrade prematurely on vehicles that are infrequently used. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for corrosion and seizing, since EVs often rely heavily on regenerative deceleration and the mechanical friction brakes may seize or develop surface rust through lack of use. Fluid condition, although less critical on an electric vehicle than on a combustion model, should still be verified. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture over time irrespective of mileage, so a brake fluid service in line with Audi's recommended intervals should be confirmed and the fluid checked for dark discolouration. The cooling system for the electric drive components, battery pack, and on-board charger should be inspected for leaks, and the undertray examined for any signs of impact damage or fluid staining. On the test drive, listen for any suspension clonks over uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn bushes or coil springs, and pay attention to unusual vibrations through the steering wheel, which may point to tracking issues or suspension geometry concerns. Verify the operation of all driver assistance and lighting systems, and confirm that the charging cable and any manufacturer-fitted accessories are present and functional, as omissions at this stage can prove costly to rectify.
