Find the year your car was first registered below, then check the faults it is most likely to fail on.
Pass rate by year
Each year's first-time pass rate, with a tick for all cars first used that year. Years with fewer than 300 tests, and cars over 20 years old, are left out. Years with 1,000 or more tests link to a page of their own, with that year's common faults.
Common failures
The share of all Audi Q4 e-tron cars tested that failed on, or had fixed at the station, each item. Worth checking before the MOT or before you buy.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Condition: has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords | 4.4% |
| Condition: has ply or cords exposed | 3.4% |
| Tread depth: tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm | 1.7% |
| Headlamp aim: too high | 0.9% |
| Wipers: does not clear the windscreen effectively | 0.5% |

Common advisories
Advisories are things the tester noticed that were not bad enough to fail. They often turn into failures later. What advisories mean for the next MOT.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Tread depth: worn close to legal limit/worn on edge | 24.1% |
| Child Seat fitted not allowing full inspection of adult belt | 3.6% |
| Nail in tyre | 3.2% |
| Condition: has a cut but not deep enough to reach the ply or cords | 2.6% |
| Condition: slightly damaged/cracking or perishing | 1.8% |
| Brake discs: worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened | 1.1% |
| Pins and bushes: pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement | 0.8% |
| Condition: slightly damaged | 0.5% |

Typical mileage
Recorded mileage at the MOT. A car well above the range for its age has done more work than most; one far below is worth a closer look at its MOT history.
| Age | Low | Typical | High | All cars, typical |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-5 years | 23,800 | 32,600 miles | 43,900 | 30,900 |

- 2 recalls for the Audi Q4 e-tron, from the DVSA recalls list.
- Check if a Audi has been recalled on GOV.UK, using its registration.
