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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Audi A4 (SM05 GDV) between May 2008 and January 2026.

The record contains 17 passes and 10 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (16 issues), Suspension (15 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 31 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: “Nearside Front Upper Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn rear most arm, inner bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn rear most arm (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”.
