CarHunch analysed 188 real MOT records for the 2022 Audi Q5 S Ln Ed 1 50 TFSI E Quat SA. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Audi Q5 S Line 50 TFSI e quattro is performing well above the UK average with a 91.3% first-time pass rate versus the national 80%, and dangerous defects are rare at just 2.1% of the cohort. This plug-in hybrid is proving reliable in its first couple of years on the road, with fewer than one failure per 20 vehicles and minimal advisory issues.

At 30,000 miles median mileage for 2022 models, these cars are running at typical usage for their age, suggesting the strong pass rate reflects genuine build quality rather than gentle use. If you're considering one, verify the service history is complete—this generation demands proper maintenance to keep that hybrid system trouble-free—and a pre-purchase inspection should flag any electrical niggles before they become expensive.

What to check before buying a 2022 Audi Q5 S Ln Ed 1 50 TFSI E Quat SA

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.
