124 real MOT outcomes analysed • 92.2% first-time pass rate

2022 Audi S4 Black Ed TDI MHEV Quattro A

CarHunch analysed 124 real MOT records for the 2022 Audi S4 Black Ed TDI MHEV Quattro A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This S4 is a genuinely reliable performer so far, with a 92.2% first-time pass rate that sits well clear of the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are mercifully rare at just 3.2% of the cohort. The low failure rate of 0.09 per vehicle and modest advisory count of 0.6 suggest owners aren't facing surprise repair bills.

At 27,000 miles median for a 2022 model, these cars are running light, which partly explains the strong MOT showing but also means real-world durability under higher mileage remains unproven. If you're buying one, check service history carefully and budget for premium maintenance costs typical of an Audi S-line diesel—the numbers show it's likely sound, but it's not a cheap-to-run car.

What to check before buying a 2022 Audi S4 Black Ed TDI MHEV Quattro 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.
