2021 Audi RS E Tron GT Carbon Vorsprung

CarHunch analysed 103 real MOT records for the 2021 Audi RS E Tron GT Carbon Vorsprung. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This Audi RS e-tron GT is more reliable than the UK average, with an 87.1% first-time pass rate compared to 80% across all vehicles, and a low dangerous defect rate of 18.4% suggests most examples are structurally sound. The electric powertrain appears to be holding up well early in its life.

At just over 23,000 miles on average, these cars are still relatively young and lightly used, which explains the minimal failure rate of 0.28 per vehicle and modest advisory count of 0.6—typical wear items rather than serious problems. If you're buying one, verify the charging system and battery health documentation from the dealer, as these are the costliest items to replace on an electric car and won't always show up in MOT records.

What to check before buying a 2021 Audi RS E Tron GT Carbon Vorsprung

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.
