2021 Audi E-Tron Technik 50 Quattro Electricity · NH21 FCC

The MOT record shows a stable maintenance trend with no escalating mechanical failures, though the most recent test in February 2026 at 68,655 miles flagged two advisories that warrant attention. The clean pass in February 2025 at 58,398 miles with zero defects suggests the previous owner kept on top of routine servicing, but the return of brake disc wear on both fronts in July 2024 at 54,779 miles indicates a recurring pattern of surface scoring and pitting rather than catastrophic deterioration. The February 2026 advisory for a worn offside front tyre on the edge and a nearside rear child seat obscuring the adult seatbelt inspection are minor consumable and fitment issues, not structural or safety-critical failures. Overall, the vehicle presents as mechanically sound with no dangerous defects recorded across the entire history. The mileage accumulation is notably high for a 2021-registered electric SUV, averaging roughly 13,731 miles per year. The jump from 54,799 miles in July 2024 to 58,398 miles in February 2025 represents 3,599 miles in seven months, then a sharper climb of 10,257 miles in the twelve months to February 2026. This acceleration in use during the most recent year points to sustained motorway or long-distance driving, which is generally kinder to EV drivetrains than short urban trips but places greater demand on consumable components like tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes. The gap between the July 2024 and February 2025 tests is only seven months, shorter than the standard annual cycle, which may indicate the owner was proactive about compliance rather than reacting to a failure. A buyer inspecting this car in person should focus on the front brake assembly given the recurring advisory for worn, pitted, and scored discs on both sides at the July 2024 test. Check whether the discs have been replaced since or whether the scoring has deepened, and inspect the pad thickness and condition of the sliding calipers on both sides. The offside front tyre advisory in February 2026 for edge wear suggests possible tracking misalignment or uneven suspension geometry, so a four-wheel alignment check and close inspection of the inner and outer tread blocks on all four tyres is advisable. Examine the nearside rear seatbelt mechanism with the child seat removed to confirm the adult belt retracts and locks correctly. Given the high mileage, also assess the condition of front and rear suspension bushes, drop links, and anti-roll bar links for play or deterioration, as these components endure greater stress on a heavy electric vehicle covering this kind of annual distance.
