Our Verdict

Consider this Audi e‑tron with caution due to a recent major MOT failure. Its overall condition and electric running costs make it a viable purchase if the tyre issue is addressed.

First, examine the near‑side front tyre closely for any cuts, bulges or uneven wear, and verify that the tyre has been replaced or repaired according to the MOT requirements. Check the suspension components and brake pads, as regenerative braking can mask wear but may still show signs of excessive use. Review the full service history for any records of tyre changes, alignment checks, or other remedial work following the MOT failure. When negotiating, factor in the likely cost of a new tyre and any associated alignment or suspension adjustments, and ask for documentation of the repair to ensure the issue is fully resolved.

Running costs are favourable for an electric vehicle: electricity consumption is low, the vehicle falls into a zero‑rate road tax band and insurance is likely in group 45‑50, keeping annual expenses modest. Routine maintenance is cheaper than for combustion‑engine models, though tyre replacement after the observed cut will add a one‑off cost.

Inspect the near‑side front tyre thoroughly for any cuts, bulges, or uneven tread wear, and confirm that the tyre has been replaced or properly repaired. Look for signs of suspension wear, such as leaking dampers or worn bushings, and examine the brake discs and pads for excessive wear despite regenerative braking. Additionally, review the service history for any records of tyre changes, wheel alignments, or suspension repairs, and consider a professional diagnostic check of the electric drivetrain and charging system to ensure there are no underlying issues.

The vehicle has a clean early MOT record with a pass at 41,318 miles and a later pass at 59,052 miles, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a major tyre cut was recorded just two days before the final pass, highlighting a safety concern that must be verified. As a 2021 electric SUV with around 59k miles, it sits near the average mileage for its age and offers low fuel and tax expenses.

Aggregate data for the Audi e‑tron Technik 55 Quattro is not available, but Audi’s electric SUVs generally show solid reliability with the main concerns being tyre and suspension wear rather than drivetrain failures.
