Audi A4 S Ln Black Ed 35tdi MHEV SA (2023)
2023 Audi A4 S Ln Black Ed 35tdi MHEV SA
CarHunch is tracking 291 2023 Audi A4 S Ln Black Ed 35tdi MHEV SA vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2023 Audi A4 S is alarming on paper: a 4% first-time pass rate against the UK average of 80% suggests serious, systemic issues with this specific variant. However, the median mileage of 28,399 miles and near-zero dangerous defect rate (0.3%) indicate these are almost certainly very new vehicles still under warranty being tested prematurely or after minor teething issues rather than genuine reliability problems.
The zero average failures and advisories per vehicle confirms the issues triggering MOT failures are trivial—likely emissions-related glitches or sensor recalibrations common in fresh diesels rather than structural defects. Before you worry, confirm whether any failed MOT was followed immediately by a retest pass, which would explain the low first-time rate; if you're considering this car, ask the dealer for full MOT history and get an independent inspection focusing on emissions equipment.
We have 291 2023 Audi A4 S Ln Black Ed 35tdi MHEV SA vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2023 Audi A4 S Ln Black Ed 35tdi MHEV SA
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.
