MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Audi A4 (LV53 VBF) between October 2006 and December 2020.

The record contains 14 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 17 December 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (15 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Windscreen (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 24 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (1.6 (b))”; “Offside Rear Registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of a single lamp or all lamps (4.7.1 (b) (ii))”.
