What most often fails on an Audi A3 at its MOT
Across 420,942 Audi A3 MOT tests in 2025 (all versions together), these defects turned up most often.
- Coil spring: fractured or broken. On 3.2% of Audi A3 tests, 1.3 times the rate for cars of the same age.
- Tyre tread below the 1.6mm legal minimum. On 2.6% of Audi A3 tests.
- Linkage ball joint dust cover: ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt. On 1.7% of Audi A3 tests, 2.1 times the rate for cars of the same age.
The MOT checks safety and emissions items, not the engine, clutch or gearbox, so this is one measure of how each car holds up rather than a full reliability verdict. These figures describe the model, all its versions together, not this particular car.

- Insurance (UK average)The UK average premium actually paid for comprehensive cover, £566 in Q2 2026 (ABI) — an average across every driver, postcode and car, not a quote for this one.
