2004 AUDI TT3.2L Petrol

The 2004 Audi TT presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 126,769 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 13 June 2024 at 124,309 miles. The earlier failure on 4 June 2024 at the same mileage is anomalous: the DVSA entry lists no defects, suggesting an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five recorded tests from 2022 to 2025, the vehicle cleared every examination that counted, showing no worsening condition or recurring advisory pattern. The mileage record implies light use for a 22-year-old car. From the 2022 test at 114,061 miles to the 2025 test at 126,769 miles, the Audi covered just 12,708 miles in three years, an average of roughly 4,200 miles per year. The gap between the July 2023 pass at 121,759 miles and the June 2024 tests at 124,309 miles shows only 2,550 miles added in eleven months. Such low annual accumulation points to a car kept largely standing or used for short local trips, though the sparse history with no advisories means we cannot chart wear on consumables or suspension bushes in detail. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, particularly on the sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as the MOT record never flagged these and a 2004 TT is prone to hidden rust. The tester noted no binding calipers, worn coil springs, or brake disc lipping, but standing time accelerates seizing and perished rubber, so check the suspension bushes and flexible brake hoses closely. Given the clean sheet and low mileage, previous ownership appears to have skipped only minor consumable neglect rather than deferring serious mechanical work. Verify the 4 June 2024 failure reason with the test station, then confirm cambelt and coolant history, as these are absent from the MOT data and critical on a 1.8T of this age.
