The 2022 Audi Q4 e-tron S Line 40 passes its MOT first time 89% of the time, a solid 9 percentage points above the UK average, with only 6.6% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects—well below the threshold that would raise a red flag for buyers. This is a genuinely reliable electric car with minimal failure issues in the wild.

What to check before buying a 2022 Audi Q4 E Tron S Line 40

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.
