MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2010 Audi A5 (DC57 AXE) between February 2013 and May 2026.

The record contains 16 passes and 5 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (13 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
