MOT Analysis

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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Audi A3 (RJ56 CUX) between November 2009 and September 2026.

The record contains 18 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 17 September 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 12 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (27 issues), Lighting (15 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 46 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 Anti-roll bar ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”.
