2022 Audi RS 3 Carbon Black TFSI Quat SA
CarHunch analysed 339 real MOT records for the 2022 Audi RS 3 Carbon Black TFSI Quat SA. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Audi RS 3 Carbon Black TFSI Quattro is a genuinely reliable performer, with a 90.3% first-time pass rate that sits a clean 10 percentage points above the UK average of 80%—and only 4.7% have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low. Owners are putting modest mileage on these cars so far (median 20,178 miles at around two years old), and when MOT issues do crop up, they're typically minor: just 0.1 failures and 0.5 advisories per vehicle on average. This is a well-sorted performance car in early life, but don't assume that reliability trajectory will hold as these RS 3s age—plan a pre-purchase inspection focusing on the turbo system and dual-clutch gearbox, the two components that tend to show their age first on high-output Audis.
What to check before buying a 2022 Audi RS 3 Carbon Black TFSI Quat 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.
