Description
This is my Audi e-tron that i have owned since January 2023. I have decided to go back to Petrol as the mileage i need to do for work means having to charge on the road at peak times.
THE GOOD:
This e-tron has just had it's Rear Motor changed by Audi due to the well documented EV motor seal issue (google it!). This is a design fault on e-tron's and was GBP 8,500 to fix needing a new rear motor and over 18hours of labour!!!
I would highly recommend NOT buying one that has not had this work done. This work and motor is warrantied by Audi for 2 years.
Full Audi Service history. Serviced in January 2025 at Amersham Audi (53,800 miles). 2 brand new rear tyres and 2 relatively new front tyres. MOT until end of May 2026.
In March 2025 we also had a battery check performed where it noted that "all ok in GFF test plan. Battery cells within 5 millivolts of eachother and green in overview".
This offers any buyer as much peace of mind you could have buying a used E-tron.
3 zone AirCon, ApplePlay connectivity, DAB radio, Rear parking camera + 360 Degree parking sensors.
Heated Front Seats with ability to turn on via the mobile App or set a timer each morning in the winter.
Usual Audi refinements such as Sat Nav, Touch screen, Memory Leather seats (2 memory settings), Drivers seat goes back automatically when you get in and our for ease, digital display, dynamic drive settings (all terrain, eco, sport etc) Cruise control, lane assist and Brake assist.
NOT SO GOOD:
This is a family car and there are minor scuffs and marks as expected with a car over 5 years old. It has been well looked after but it isn't a garage queen. Nothing major noticeable from 6 feet away but right-up close you will see marks appropriate for any car this age.
This is an EV and manufacturers lie about the range(!). Press material claims 193 from a 100% charged car. Realistically this is 160 in summer and as low as c.100 in winter if you do battery-draining small trips throughout the day.
This is the same for all e-trons and, as confirmed by the battery check i had done, the battery is absolutely fine and operating as designed and built by Audi.
Only fair to be honest with any buyer and say you'll need to consider how often you'd go more than this in a day in the summer/winter before considering any e-tron.
Overall an honest car, well looked after/serviced. Don't need urgent sale so no silly offers please. Also, no test pilots (this is a fast car!) and test drives only with insurance.
