Audi MOT pass rates
Audi MOT pass rates, ranked across 90 models and 5,871,762 DVSA MOT tests between 2000 and 2024, from the Q5 Sln ED1 (94.9%) to the A2 (71.4%). The tables below compare every model with enough tests to rank, list the most-tested models, and link to each model's own pass-rate and fault pages.
How Audi models compare on the MOT
The spread across Audi models is wide — 94.9% for the Q5 Sln ED1 at the top and 71.4% for the A2 at the bottom, a 23.5-point gap across 2,645 and 25,108 recorded tests respectively. Most Audi models sit much closer to the middle (around 89.9%, on 14,837 tests for the Q4 E-Tron). The best and worst are both real DVSA results, not opinions: the pass rate is the share of every completed MOT test for that model that ended in a pass.
Every figure above is drawn from the DVSA's class-4 MOT records for the 2000–2024 data years: 5,871,762 tests across 90 Audi models. A pass rate counts every completed test — first attempt and retests — so the figures above include a van or motorhome being tested twice in one year. The first-time pass figures on each model page are lower as a result. See the methodology page for exactly how each rate is calculated and how the DVSA source data is filtered.
