2021 Audi Q4 E-Tron S Line 40 Electricity · RK71 KME

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a lapse in basic preventative maintenance. While the car achieved clean passes in 2024 and 2025, it failed on March 2, 2026 at 53,941 miles due to critical tyre defects. The tester flagged an offside front inner tyre worn to the legal limit and a nearside rear outer tyre with exposed sidewall cords. Although it passed the retest the same day after repairs, the failure suggests the previous owner neglected consumable items until forced by regulatory requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a modern electric vehicle, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per year. The car covered 7,160 miles between the 2024 test (33,135 miles) and the 2025 test (40,295 miles), followed by a further 13,647 miles before the March 2026 test. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for battery health and mechanical seals in an EV. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and alignment geometry. The report of the offside front inner tyre being worn on the edge often points to incorrect camber settings or worn suspension bushes and control arm components. Given the recent failure regarding tyre sidewalls, it is vital to check for uneven wear across all remaining tyres to ensure the drivetrain is not causing premature scrubbing. While no structural corrosion or brake binding issues were noted in the history, the sudden shift from clean records to a failure highlights a need for a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach.
