Too new to rate yet — worth knowing

Got a specific Audi RS 5 Carbon Black TFSI Quat A you're checking out?

The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.

This 2023 Audi RS 5 is exceptionally reliable in MOT terms, with a first-time pass rate of 94.4% well above the UK average of 80%, and zero vehicles in the sample ever flagged for dangerous defects. The petrol engine proves robust, posting virtually no failures (0.01 per vehicle) and no advisories across 194 tested cars.

At 17,200 miles median, these cars are still relatively young with minimal mileage for their age, so the low failure rate reflects both sound engineering and light use. When checking one out, focus on service history and maintenance records rather than MOT concerns—the real risk lies in the RS 5's demanding engine and expensive running costs if anything does go wrong.
