Audi E-Tron Black Edition 55 Quat: MOT pass rate and reliability data

The Audi E-Tron Black Edition 55 Quat passes its MOT first time more often than the average UK car, by 11.6 percentage points.

The numbers

What this means if you are buying one

A 88.3% first-time pass rate means roughly 12 in every 100 Audi E-Tron Black Edition 55 Quats presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is better than average, so a well-kept example is a reasonably safe used buy. The average Audi E-Tron Black Edition 55 Quat tested had covered 31,514 miles and was built around 2021.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. The Audi E-Tron Black Edition 55 Quat sits 11.6 points above the national average, ranked 959 of 2,005 models. On one bought as repairable salvage, the mechanical side is less likely to spring surprises, so your repair estimate should hold up reasonably well.

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.
