Tyres — 15.8% of failures
Tyres issues account for 15.8% of MOT failures on the Audi A4 Sport 40 Tfsi Mhev S-a. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures. Typical repair costs: £50–200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.
Suspension — 7.9% of failures
Suspension issues account for 7.9% of MOT failures on the Audi A4 Sport 40 Tfsi Mhev S-a. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
Non-component advisories — 5.3% of failures
Non-component advisories issues account for 5.3% of MOT failures on the Audi A4 Sport 40 Tfsi Mhev S-a. Non-component advisories issues are a common cause of MOT failure.
