MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Audi A3 (YC05 YYU) between April 2008 and October 2024.

The record contains 18 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 31 October 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (6 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 20 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 Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Nearside Rear wheel bearing rough when rotated (2.6.1)”.
