MOT Analysis

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

35 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Audi A4 (R37 VLH) between March 2006 and March 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 14 failures.

The most recent test on 05 March 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 14 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (71 issues), Lighting (44 issues), Suspension (29 issues), Tyres (27 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 209 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: “Fuel system component leaking engine (6.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
