The Etron, evidently a bit rubbish.
A 2 year old Audi or eg a new MG with better warranty?
Personal choice.
Just bought my used approved Audi that comes with 2 years warranty, 2 years servicing, 2 years breakdown & free Ohme charger. Now let me think, MG or Audi smile
Indeed
Market forces.
Some would choose a new EV for the same price as a not so great used Audi.
That’s why the Audi is cheap.
Well not cheap, priced about right.

Out of curiosity, how much was it?

It's the same market forces affecting all used EV's, values have collapsed in the last 12 months due to supply and demand. A new MG4 will likely lose £10-12k to depreciation in its first year. A 2 year old eTron, maybe half that?

If you enjoy burning money, there's few better ways than buying a new EV at the moment.

I’m on the verge of buying a used Q4 40. They look nice and have a decent range. Need to test drive one mind you. I can’t help worrying about having the car for 8 years (maybe 50k miles) and the battery being trashed and its value being zero.

8 year, 100k mile warranty on the battery in the Q4. If you're only planning on covering 6k miles a year and charging mostly at home then you really shouldn't have anything to worry about. Batteries can also have modules repaired/replace so unlikely to be worth nothing even if you do have a problem.
