Audi RS7 MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Audi RS7s 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 RS7 registrations over time

Registrations of Audi RS7s for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 150 in 2020. In 2025, 20 were registered.

  • 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 RS7 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.

Fuel line may have become damage and could cause a fuel leak

Launched 7 October 2013 DVSA recall R/2013/112 Manufacturer ref. 20U6

Defect
Due to manufacturing tolerance the fuel line may become damaged in individual cases and within a specific manufacturing period. In the worst case this can cause leakage.
Remedy
Recall the affected vehicles within the range quoted and replace the fuel line
Vehicles affected
452 across everything the recall covers
Built

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Audi RS7. 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.
