MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Audi A3 (PK58 TXF) between November 2011 and April 2023.

The record contains 11 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 12 April 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (13 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 19 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 Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn REAR WISHBONE RUBBERS BOTH SIDES (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Tyre has ply or cords damaged (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
