MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Audi A3 (MT05 FCL) between April 2008 and August 2025.

The record contains 19 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 05 August 2025 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: Tyres (18 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 40 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: “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Brake disc significantly and obviously worn (1.1.14 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn rear bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
