MOT Analysis

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

10 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Audi A4 (S233 CMR) between September 2005 and July 2010.

The record contains 6 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 12 July 2010 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (11 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 17 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: “Exhaust system not adequately supported (7.1.1)”; “Offside Front Upper Suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”; “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”.
