Audi RSQ8 MOT reliability
There were not enough MOT tests of Audi RSQ8s 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 RSQ8 registrations over time
Registrations of Audi RSQ8s for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 492 in 2023. In 2025, 282 were registered.

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.
Audi RSQ8 fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Audi RSQ8 from 2025, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2025 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol hybrid versions ranges from 20.8 to 21.4 mpg, with CO2 of 300 to 309 g/km.
| Engine and fuel | Combined mpg | CO2 g/km | Listed | Euro standard | Versions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4.0 petrol hybrid | 20.8–21.4 | 300–309 | 2025–2026 | Euro 6 | 2 |

- 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 name “RS Q8”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Audi RSQ8 safety recalls
We found no recalls for the Audi RSQ8 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 RSQ8. 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.
