How AUDI compares

AUDI has an MOT pass rate of 77.2%, against 69.4% across every make in the national record. That is 30,126,871 tests and 16,658,495 since 2012 with a defect code to categorise, so the figure rests on the whole national record for this make rather than a sample of it.

Check a specific AUDI

These are averages. For one vehicle's actual test history, enter its registration.

Figures cover every AUDI in the national MOT record, which includes vehicles since scrapped or exported, so "on record" is not a count of cars on the road. Pass rate counts every recorded MOT test, retests included.
