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 2002 Audi A3 (KB02 BAR) between February 2006 and January 2020.

The record contains 15 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 09 January 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (13 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Steering (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 29 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 Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Power steering pump leaking Severe leak at pump area. (2.1.5 (a))”; “Offside Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect No beam pattern. (4.1.2 (c))”.
