MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Audi A3 (RO08 ETX) between August 2011 and February 2024.

The record contains 13 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 01 February 2024 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: Brakes (7 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Exhaust emissions exceed manufacturer's specified limit (8.2.2.2 (a))”; “Offside Outer Front constant velocity joint gaiter damaged to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”.
