2021 Audi E-Tron Technik 55 Quattro Electric · M88 LBK

The most recent MOT test conducted on 28 August 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in September 2024, indicating a highly stable and consistent maintenance trend. The absence of any recorded advisories or failures suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and that its primary safety-critical components, including lighting, steering, and structural integrity, have been meeting regulatory requirements without issue. With a recorded mileage of 44,603 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,900 miles per year. This usage profile is considered typical for a premium electric vehicle and suggests a balanced driving pattern. It avoids the potential pitfalls of extreme high-mileage wear on suspension components and drivetrain assemblies, while also avoiding the excessive degradation often associated with vehicles that sit idle for long periods. The mileage is consistent enough to suggest that mechanical components have been exercised regularly, which is beneficial for preventing component seizure. As the MOT history is entirely clean, the inspection should focus on age-related degradation and specific electric vehicle considerations. Even with moderate mileage, the tyres should be closely examined for signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or fine splits, which can occur due to age rather than wear. Check the tread patterns for unevenness, which may indicate worn suspension bushes or incorrect wheel alignment. On a test drive, pay close attention to the braking performance; although the discs may appear clean, check for any brake shudder or pulling to one side, which could indicate binding calipers or uneven pad wear. Furthermore, given the vehicle's age, it is essential to verify the service history for time-based maintenance rather than just mileage-based intervals. Confirm that the 12V auxiliary battery and the high-voltage cooling systems have been inspected according to manufacturer schedules. Listen for any suspension clunks or knocks when navigating uneven surfaces, as bushings and dampers can degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Finally, ensure that the cabin filtration and brake fluid have been changed according to the calendar-based intervals to ensure optimal system performance and air quality.
