About This Data

The 2016 Audi Unclassified has an MOT pass rate of 87.2% based on 133 tests โ€” well above the UK average for UK vehicles. Cars of this vintage present for MOT with an average of 45,126 miles on the odometer. With a 12.8% failure rate, the 2016 Unclassified is rated as "Excellent" for MOT reliability.

If you own or are considering buying a 2016 Audi Unclassified, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to tyres: Check tread depth with a 20p coin โ€” 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. With relatively low average mileage of 45,126 miles, many of these vehicles are still in good mechanical condition.

Tyres โ€” 5.3% of failures

Tyres issues account for 5.3% of MOT failures on 2016 Audi Unclassified models. 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: ยฃ50โ€“200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin โ€” 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.

Noise, emissions and leaks โ€” 4.5% of failures

Noise, emissions and leaks issues account for 4.5% of MOT failures on 2016 Audi Unclassified models. Emissions failures occur when exhaust gases exceed legal limits for carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), or particulate matter (diesel). Common causes include faulty oxygen sensors, clogged catalytic converters, or DPF issues on diesel vehicles. Typical repair costs: ยฃ100โ€“1,000+. Pre-MOT check: If the engine management light is on, get it diagnosed before the MOT. For diesel cars, ensure the DPF has completed a regeneration cycle. Regular servicing and using premium fuel before the test can help.

Suspension โ€” 3.0% of failures

Suspension issues account for 3.0% of MOT failures on 2016 Audi Unclassified models. 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: ยฃ200โ€“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.
