Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Audi A4 S Ln Blk Ed 40tdi MHEV Q SA?

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Audi A4 S Ln Blk Ed 40tdi MHEV Q SA?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

This 2022 Audi A4 is a strong performer, with a 90.7% first-time MOT pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%, suggesting owners are generally keeping these cars in good shape. Only 8.4% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is comfortably low and shouldn't deter buyers.

At a median mileage of 31,631 miles for a two-year-old car, these examples are running reasonably, and the average of just 0.13 failures per vehicle indicates mechanically sound cars overall.
