2023 Audi Q4 E-Tron Sport 40 Electricity · WN23 XFS

The most recent DVSA MOT carried out on 11 March 2026 recorded a full pass with no advisory or failure items noted. With only a single MOT entry available, the maintenance record cannot yet show a trend, but the absence of any defects at this stage suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets the statutory road‑worthiness standards and that any routine servicing required by the manufacturer has been observed up to the date of the test. At three years old the Audi Q4 e‑tron Sport 40 has accumulated 41 082 miles, equating to roughly 13 700 miles per annum. This mileage is considerably above the average for a three‑year‑old family SUV, indicating a relatively high level of usage. The elevated annual distance points to a greater cumulative load on wear items such as tyre tread, brake pads and discs, suspension bushings, and the high‑voltage traction battery cooling system. It also implies that the vehicle is likely to have been driven in a variety of conditions, potentially including frequent stop‑start urban traffic as well as longer highway runs, each of which places distinct stresses on the drivetrain and chassis. For a prospective buyer the first visual inspection should concentrate on the condition of the tyres – verify tread depth is above the legal minimum, look for sidewall cracking or dry rot that can develop even on relatively low‑kilometre tyres when they have been stored for long periods, and check for uneven wear patterns that may reveal mis‑alignment or worn suspension components. Examine the wheel arches and suspension mounting points for any signs of corrosion, especially on the lower control arms and sub‑frame, as exposure to road salt can accelerate degradation. The regenerative‑braking system and conventional friction brakes should be assessed for pad thickness and disc surface condition; any scoring, glazing or excessive rust on the discs can cause shudder or reduced stopping performance. Listen for clunking or squeaking when the vehicle is driven over bumps, which may indicate deteriorating bushings or worn coil springs. Given the vehicle’s electric power‑train, particular attention should be paid to the health of the high‑voltage battery and its cooling circuit. Verify that the service history records any battery coolant flushes or software updates, and inquire whether the manufacturer’s battery health check has been performed within the last 12 months. Inspect the 12 V auxiliary battery for signs of sulfation or weak cranking, as a failing auxiliary battery can affect electronic stability controls and infotainment systems. Finally, confirm that all scheduled software revisions and recall actions have been applied, and that the charging port and cable connectors are free of corrosion or physical damage. A thorough test drive should include monitoring for any abnormal noises from the drivetrain, checking for smooth acceleration without hesitation, and confirming that regenerative braking feels consistent and that the vehicle coasts predictably when the accelerator is released.
