Compare two years of the same car
The newer model year almost always passes more MOTs — because it is newer. Put two years of the same car side by side to see how much of that gap is age, mileage and repair costs, and how much is the car itself.
Choose two model years for the Audi RS. Published years: 2013–2023.

How the year comparison works
- Each column pools every test of that model year in the latest data, not just one vehicle.
- “Like-for-like” adjusts for the age and mileage mix of the cars actually tested, so a newer, lower-mileage year does not win by default.
- “First-time pass rate” ignores retests after a failure, which makes it the closest measure to a defect rate.
- Repair costs are estimates from UK parts data, not garage quotes.
