CarHunch analysed 404 real MOT records for the 2022 Audi RS Q3 Sport Ed TFSI Quattro SA. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Audi RS Q3 Sport Ed passes its MOT on first attempt 89.8% of the time, significantly outperforming the UK average of 80%—a strong showing that reflects the quality control of this premium performance model.

These cars are running modest mileage for their age (median 21,901 miles), which means you're seeing the vehicle in relatively fresh condition. When failures do occur they're infrequent (0.12 per vehicle), though advisories crop up a little more often (0.6 per vehicle), typically minor wear items on a performance car—so before committing to a used example, request a full service history and have a specialist run a pre-purchase inspection on the suspension and brakes, which take the strain on this turbocharged quattro.

What to check before buying a 2022 Audi RS Q3 Sport Ed 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.
