The 2022 Audi e-tron S Line 55 Quattro is significantly more reliable than the UK average, with an 89.2% first-time MOT pass rate compared to 80% nationally. Dangerous defects are rare, affecting only 6.5% of vehicles tested, so safety concerns are minimal for this cohort.

At under 31,000 miles on average, these cars are still relatively young and low-mileage, which explains the strong pass rate and very low failure count of 0.12 per vehicle. The average 0.8 advisories per car suggests minor wear items are emerging, so when buying used, ask the seller specifically about any recent advisory work and get a pre-purchase inspection to catch any developing issues before they become failures.

The 2022 Audi E Tron S Line 55 Quattro passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (93.8% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
