2019 Audi E-Tron Electricity · PR15 MAP

This Audi e-tron presents a clean and reassuring DVSA roadworthiness history across four consecutive tests spanning from 2022 through October 2025, with no failures or recorded defects at any point. The most recent examination on 23 October 2025 passed without a single advisory, complementing an entirely blemish-free record at the 2022 and 2023 tests. The only advisories of any note appeared at the 2024 test, where chassis covers were noted as obstructing full inspection and items were removed from the driver's view prior to testing; both are entirely administrative in nature rather than mechanical concerns and suggest nothing more than the tester being unable to see certain underbody components, likely due to factory or aftermarket shielding typical of an EV platform. The overall trajectory is one of stable and consistent roadworthiness with no deterioration in test outcomes, which is an encouraging sign for an EV of this age where structural integrity, suspension condition, and braking performance are the primary mechanical concerns at MOT level. With 42,110 miles accumulated over roughly seven years, the vehicle has covered approximately 6,016 miles annually, which sits comfortably within the expected range for a premium electric SUV of this vintage. The annual accumulation appears steady and consistent, with no significant gaps in the MOT testing record that might suggest extended periods off the road, and no evidence of mileage stagnation that could point to long-term storage issues affecting the high-voltage battery, 12V auxiliary systems, or brake components through lack of regular use. Even at this modest annual mileage, the brakes have been exercised at every test, which matters particularly for an EV that relies on regenerative braking for much of its slowing; regular MOT intervals confirm the friction brakes are still being used enough to remain functional and free from seizing. The usage profile is exactly what one would hope to see from a daily-usable family EV, and there is nothing in the record to raise concerns about inconsistent operation or hidden lay-up periods. For a prospective buyer, the absence of any structural, suspension, or brake-related advisories over four tests is a strong positive indicator, but it is worth verifying that those chassis covers noted in 2024 have not been used to conceal developing corrosion or component damage. On inspection, ask the seller to remove any underbody panels so the subframe mounting points, suspension arms, and brake lines can be visually examined for surface corrosion or impact damage, particularly given the e-tron's substantial kerb weight which places meaningful stress on these components. On a test drive, listen carefully for any knocking or clonking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn control arm bushes or anti-roll bar links, and pay attention to any steering vibration or pulling under braking, as the substantial mass of the vehicle can accelerate disc wear. The brake pedal should feel firm and progressive without any sponginess, and the regenerative braking transition should be smooth without any grabby or inconsistent feel. Beyond the mechanical items flagged in the MOT history, an EV-specific inspection should include verification that the high-voltage battery state of health is at least eighty percent of its original capacity, ideally confirmed via a diagnostic scan rather than solely relying on the dashboard range estimate. Check the 12V auxiliary battery condition, as these are known to fail without warning on older EVs and can cause starting and system faults. Inspect the charging port and cable for any signs of damage or scorching, and confirm all driver assistance systems, including the camera array and parking sensors, are functioning correctly as any misalignment from minor impacts could produce dashboard warnings. Finally, verify that the adaptive air suspension (if fitted) rises and lowers smoothly and that the vehicle sits level when stationary, as any sagging at one corner would indicate a leaking air strut or failing compressor, a known wear item on e-trons approaching this age and mileage bracket.
