MOT Analysis

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

15 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Audi A3 (C4 SLK) between May 2007 and October 2022.

The record contains 12 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 22 October 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 6 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 Suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”; “Supplementary Restraint System warning lamp indicates a fault (5.4.2)”; “Brake pedal creeps down when held under pressure (3.3.B.1a)”.
