MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Audi A3 (FG55 TGV) between June 2008 and July 2024.

The record contains 16 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 29 July 2024 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (13 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (9 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Suspension (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 21 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: “Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Offside Front Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (”.
