2021 Audi E-Tron Technik 50 Quattro Electric · RE21 AYZ

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 1 June 2026 at 65,118 miles. The overall maintenance trend is broadly stable, though a recurring pattern of premature front tyre wear persists. The most recent test passed, but the tester flagged both nearside and offside front tyres worn close to the legal limit on their inside edges. This is a notable advisory for a vehicle barely two weeks into its new certificate, suggesting the underlying cause of the uneven wear has not been fully resolved. At roughly five years old, the recorded mileage of 65,118 miles equates to an average of approximately 13,000 miles per year, which is on the higher side for a premium electric SUV of this age. The mileage progression shows a steady climb from 32,519 miles in April 2024 to 48,850 miles by June 2025, then jumping to 65,118 miles by June 2026. That final year accounts for over 16,000 miles, indicating sustained, intensive use in the most recent period. Such a pattern accelerates wear on consumable items like tyres, brake components, and suspension bushes. The MOT history reveals a clear recurring issue with the front tyres. In the June 2025 failure at 48,850 miles, both front tyres had exposed ply or cords on the inside edge, a serious structural condition. By the June 2026 pass at 65,118 miles, the same inner-edge wear pattern had returned, albeit at an earlier stage. This strongly points to a persistent alignment or suspension geometry fault. A prospective buyer should have the front suspension, subframe alignment, and tracking inspected thoroughly. Worn suspension bushes, a damaged track rod end, or a misadjusted camber setting are the most likely culprits for this repeated, asymmetric tyre wear. Beyond the tyres, the record is largely clean, with no structural corrosion, brake defects, or emissions-related faults noted. The single rear-seat advisory is a minor inspection limitation, not a mechanical concern. The focus for any pre-purchase inspection should remain on the front suspension and steering components. A four-wheel alignment check is essential before committing to the vehicle, as the root cause of the tyre wear remains unresolved and will continue to damage replacement tyres if left uncorrected.
