2022 Audi E-Tron S Line 55 Quattro Electric · LL22 ASV

The latest MOT inspection conducted in May 2026 resulted in a pass, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal requirements for roadworthiness. Looking at the recent history, the maintenance trend appears stable. While the 2025 test highlighted advisory notes regarding rear tyre wear, these do not appear to have escalated into failures in the most recent test, suggesting that the previous advisories were likely addressed. The recent minor defect regarding a windscreen wiper blade is a simple consumable issue and does not indicate deeper mechanical neglect. With 35,076 miles recorded over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,769 miles per annum. This represents typical, moderate usage for a modern premium vehicle and avoids the extremes of either excessive high-mileage wear or the potential degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. This mileage profile suggests that while major drivetrain components should still be in good condition, the vehicle is at an age where routine maintenance of consumables, such as suspension bushings and braking components, becomes increasingly relevant. During your test drive, pay close attention to the rear tyres, as the 2025 advisories noted wear on the edges at 3mm. Even if replaced, you should inspect the current tyres for uneven wear patterns, which could indicate a need for a four-wheel alignment or issues with suspension geometry. Given the significant weight of an electric vehicle like the E-Tron, tyre longevity and tread depth are critical. You should also inspect the underside of the vehicle to ensure the covers and undertrays mentioned in the 2026 advisory are securely fastened and free from impact damage, as these are vital for protecting the high-voltage battery and managing aerodynamics. Beyond the MOT history, you must verify the service history to ensure all manufacturer-recommended intervals have been met, particularly regarding coolant systems and 12V battery health, which is a common point of failure in electric models. Because regenerative braking is used extensively, the mechanical brake discs may experience surface corrosion or binding calipers from less frequent friction-based use; listen for any scraping or squealing during low-speed manoeuvres. Finally, check the condition of the 12V battery and ensure the vehicle has not been sitting idle for long periods, which can lead to moisture ingress or battery degradation.
