MOT Analysis

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

29 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Audi A2 (LX51 AEW) between July 2006 and June 2026.

The record contains 18 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 24 June 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (18 issues), Tyres (17 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Steering (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 20 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 Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt bottom ball joint (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”.
