2022 Audi A3 Technik 35 TFSI MHEV S A
CarHunch analysed 158 real MOT records for the 2022 Audi A3 Technik 35 TFSI MHEV S A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2022 A3 Technik is a genuinely reliable performer, with a 94% first-time pass rate that sits 14 percentage points above the UK average—and dangerous defects are rare at just 4.4% of vehicles. You're looking at a car that's being maintained well and rarely throws up serious safety issues at MOT.
At an average mileage of 28,635 miles for a two-year-old, these cars are being driven normally, not pampered or thrashed, which backs up the strong pass rate. The low failure count (0.11 per vehicle) and modest advisory rate (0.6 per vehicle) suggest minor wear rather than structural problems—so if you're buying used, a pre-purchase inspection should be quick and straightforward.
What to check before buying a 2022 Audi A3 Technik 35 TFSI MHEV S A
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
