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 2012 Audi A3 (AV61 YLP) between January 2015 and August 2026.

The record contains 13 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 20 August 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (30 issues), Suspension (16 issues), Brakes (15 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 67 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 Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Front Hydraulic brake calliper insecurely mounted and braking performance affected (1.1.16 (c) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Service brake excessively fluctuating (1.2.1 (e))”.
