MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Audi A3 (138 ECJ) between August 2008 and July 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 02 July 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

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

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed inner edge (4.1.D.1b)”; “Nearside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed inner edge (4.1.D.1b)”; “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm has excessive play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.2)”.
