2022 Audi Q4 E-Tron Sport 35 Electric · VK22 WUT

Persistent tyre-related issues define the recent history of this vehicle, culminating in a double major failure in May 2025 due to structural damage to the sidewalls of both offside tyres. While the vehicle successfully passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026, the presence of an advisory for the nearside rear tyre being worn close to the legal limit suggests that tyre management remains a recurring theme for this specific unit. The overall record shows a transition from a clean test in mid-2025 to a failure and subsequent advisory, indicating that the primary mechanical concern for a prospective buyer is the consistency of tyre maintenance and the potential for underlying alignment or suspension geometry issues that may be accelerating uneven tread wear. Accumulating 34,761 miles over a four-year period represents an average usage rate of approximately 8,690 miles per annum, which aligns with standard expectations for a vehicle of this age. This consistent mileage profile suggests the car has seen regular use rather than extended periods of inactivity, which is generally favourable for the high-voltage battery health and electrical systems inherent in this electric platform. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, and the steady increase in mileage indicates a predictable duty cycle that has not subjected the drivetrain to extreme stress or prolonged dormancy. Given the frequency of tyre-related defects in the MOT history, a thorough inspection of the suspension components is essential during your test drive. Uneven tyre wear patterns can often be symptomatic of misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes, particularly in the multi-link rear setups common on this chassis. Listen carefully for any knocking or clunking noises when traversing speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, as these are common indicators of premature wear in control arm bushings or anti-roll bar links. If the vehicle pulls to one side under braking or acceleration, it may suggest that the alignment issues flagged by the tyre failures have not been fully rectified. Because this is an electric vehicle, the regenerative braking system often masks the condition of the physical friction brakes, which may see less frequent use than those on a combustion-engine car. During your road test, perform several firm stops in a safe area to ensure the discs are not seized or corroded, and check for any judder through the pedal that might indicate warped discs or binding calipers. Inspect the inner and outer sidewalls of all four tyres for any signs of cracking or bulges, and verify that the tread depth is uniform across the width of each tyre to ensure that the previous alignment concerns have been addressed.
