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 2003 Audi A3 (HT52 ECE) between January 2006 and April 2017.

The record contains 12 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 11 April 2017 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (19 issues), Tyres (15 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 47 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 parking brake recording little or no effort (3.7.B.6a)”; “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorber has a serious fluid leak (2.7.3)”.
