2023 Audi A4 Sport Ed 35 TFSI MHEV S A
CarHunch is tracking 215 2023 Audi A4 Sport Ed 35 TFSI MHEV S A vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
**Stop here.** This 2023 Audi A4 is failing its MOT at an alarming rate: just 10% pass first time versus the UK average of 80%, meaning nine out of ten examples need remedial work before they're roadworthy. With 1.4% carrying dangerous defects, there's a legitimate safety concern for prospective buyers, though the low failure count (0.02 per vehicle) suggests most issues are minor rather than structural.
These are young cars running just under 24,000 miles on average, so the failure epidemic isn't wear-and-tear—it points to manufacturing or design problems in this specific generation. The near-zero advisories (0.1 per car) combined with high initial failure rates suggests problems are binary: either catastrophic enough to fail, or non-existent. Before committing to this model, get a pre-purchase inspection from an Audi specialist focused on the electrical and emissions systems, as these tend to be the culprits in new-car MOT failures.
We have 215 2023 Audi A4 Sport Ed 35 TFSI MHEV S A 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 Sport Ed 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.
