Audi Allroad: MOT pass rate and reliability data

The Audi Allroad fails its first MOT more often than the average UK car, by 1.1 percentage points. These figures come from the DVSA's full year of anonymised MOT results, covering 1,644 individual Audi Allroad tests. Nothing here is an estimate or a survey.

The numbers

First-time pass rate75.6%
UK national average76.7%
Difference-1.1 points
Tests analysed1,644
Average mileage at test151,037 miles
Average year of manufacture2008
Reliability rank1,603 of 2,005 models

What this means if you are buying one

A 75.6% first-time pass rate means roughly 24 in every 100 Audi Allroads presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is worse than average, so budget for remedial work and treat a fresh 12-month MOT as a genuine selling point rather than a given. The average Audi Allroad tested had covered 151,037 miles and was built around 2008.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. On a Audi Allroad bought as a repairable salvage, assume the mechanical side needs more than the visible accident damage, and pad your repair estimate accordingly.

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.

Looking at a specific Audi Allroad rather than the model in general? The free check covers its MOT and mileage history, and the full HPI report confirms the insurance write-off category, outstanding finance and whether it is recorded stolen, from licensed data for 5 credits. Already own one that has been damaged? Work out whether fixing it beats selling it with the repair or scrap calculator, and see what damaged Audi Allroads actually sold for at UK salvage auction.
