  • Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
  • Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “Allroad”, “allroad”, “Allroad (from NOV 06 Wk 45 >)”, “Audi Allroad (Up to June 2005)”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Windscreen wiper action may be affected

Launched 3 September 2001 DVSA recall R/2001/114 Manufacturer ref. 92A2

Defect
At high speeds there is a risk that the wiper on the drivers side may become entangled with the wiper on the passenger's side which will lock wiper motion.
Remedy
Recall affected vehicles and replace driver's side windscreen wiper arm and blade with modified type.
Vehicles affected
885 vehicles
Built
3 May 1999 to 17 Jan 2001

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Audi Allroad. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.

  • Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
  • Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
  • First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
  • Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
  • MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
  • DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
