Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2021 Audi RS E Tron GT Carbon Vorsprung?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

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.
