What to know
The A3 tests below Audi's overall brand average of 78.4%, sitting essentially in line with the national average at 74.08%. This is a useful example of the premium badge not automatically translating to a premium result for the smaller, higher-volume end of a manufacturer's range.
The A3 shares much of its underlying platform with the VW Golf, which tests slightly better at 73.1%, and the two are worth cross-shopping if MOT reliability data is a priority alongside the badge and specification.
