Tyres — 18.0% of failures
Tyres issues account for 18.0% of MOT failures on the Audi A7 Sln Blk Ed 55tfsi Mhev Q Sa.

Identification of the vehicle — 4.5% of failures
Identification of the vehicle issues account for 4.5% of MOT failures on the Audi A7 Sln Blk Ed 55tfsi Mhev Q Sa.

The VIN must be permanently displayed and legible, and the registration plate must meet British Standard formatting. Typical repair costs: £10–50.

Visibility — 4.5% of failures
Visibility issues account for 4.5% of MOT failures on the Audi A7 Sln Blk Ed 55tfsi Mhev Q Sa. Visibility failures relate to the windscreen, wipers, washers, mirrors, and view-obstructing damage.
