2022 Audi A4 Sport Ed 40 TFSI MHEV S A

CarHunch analysed 116 real MOT records for the 2022 Audi A4 Sport Ed 40 TFSI MHEV S A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This A4 Sport Ed passes its MOT first time 90% of the time, well above the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects show up in just 6% of vehicles tested—both reassuring marks for a 2022 model. The hybrid petrol engine appears robust in these early years, with cars averaging only 0.14 failures per test.

At under 29,000 miles on average, these cars are still young and lightly used, so the high pass rate reflects that—expect reliability to drop gradually as mileage climbs. The real telltale is advisories: 0.8 per vehicle suggests minor wear items (brake pads, cabin filters) are starting to appear, which is normal, but nothing structural is showing up yet. Check the service history and suspension components closely before buying, as this is where early problem patterns would emerge on an A4.

What to check before buying a 2022 Audi A4 Sport Ed 40 TFSI MHEV S A

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
