Used Audi Q4 e-tron 2021-present reliability

Many Q4s will have been company or lease cars and, as a result, you should check the condition of the paintwork carefully. Most unsightly scuffs and dings will have been attended to at the end of the lease period, but these can often be of the ‘Smart’ repair type and the quality of finish can vary. Also, check for swirls in the paintwork from car washes.

Ensure the history is absolutely watertight and there are no mileage discrepancies. Look at the seats, pedals and steering wheel to make sure wear is commensurate with mileage.

There have been some problems with the car’s infotainment system with phones not connecting properly and flickering screens being the main complaints. The latest software from Audi can cure some of these ills.
