MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2009 Audi A3 (B17 SBO) between July 2012 and January 2026.

The record contains 16 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 29 January 2026 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 (56 issues), Tyres (17 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Steering (6 issues), Lighting (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 75 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 Rear Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”; “Offside Rear Other passenger door cannot be opened from outside the vehicle (6.2.3 (a))”; “Offside Rear Lower Suspension arm corroded and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))”.
