2022 Audi RS 3 Vorsprung TFSI Quattro SA
CarHunch analysed 536 real MOT records for the 2022 Audi RS 3 Vorsprung TFSI Quattro SA. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Audi RS 3 is performing well above the UK average with an 87.6% first-time pass rate compared to 80%, and dangerous defects are rare at just 3.7% of vehicles—this is a reassuringly clean bill of health for a performance car. Median mileage sits at a sensible 18,666 miles for a nearly two-year-old model, and the low failure rate of 0.08 per vehicle suggests these high-powered machines are holding up mechanically. Minor advisory issues average 0.3 per car, which is typical wear-and-tear stuff rather than anything structural. If you're considering one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the engine bay and cooling system—these are where RS 3s can surprise you—but the MOT data backs a solid ownership experience so far.
What to check before buying a 2022 Audi RS 3 Vorsprung TFSI Quattro 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.
