Audi RS5 MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Audi RS5s in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Audi RS5 engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 2,563 Audi RS5s licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 56.7% have an engine of 2,801cc to 2,900cc, and 43.3% have an engine of 4,101cc to 4,200cc. The share with an engine of 2,801cc to 2,900cc has grown from 0.0% in 2014 to 56.7%.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

• 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.
• VCA’s data has no Audi versions for 2019 to 2024, so the years listed may leave out years the Audi RS5 was on sale.
• 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 “RS Series”, “RS Series, 2013”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Audi RS5 safety recalls

We found no recalls for the Audi RS5 in DVSA’s records since 1992. That does not mean none apply: DVSA sometimes records a recall under a range or chassis name we cannot match to a model. Check a specific car on GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Audi RS5. 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.
