Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2019 Audi Sq8 Vorsprung TDI MHEV Quat A?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2019 Audi Sq8 Vorsprung TDI MHEV Quat A?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

This SQ8 Vorsprung is a reliable performer, with an 87.1% first-time pass rate that sits comfortably above the UK average of 80%, and a low dangerous defect rate of 15.7% suggests that safety issues are not a significant concern for buyers. The average vehicle has accumulated just over 40,000 miles, which is reasonable for a 2019 model, and typically picks up 0.38 failures and 3.0 advisories per test—mostly minor wear and maintenance items rather than structural problems.

When you're inspecting an example, focus on the advisories rather than sweating the failures; these high-mileage diesel engines are generally solid, but get a full service history check and have the fuel injection system inspected, as this is where most advisories on TDI units tend to cluster.
