2006 Audi TT 1.8L Petrol · A25 ETT

The MOT record for this Audi TT reveals a recent test on April 2nd, 2026, at 113,631 miles which resulted in a pass following rectifications, indicating a mixed maintenance trend that leans toward worsening mechanical wear. The vehicle previously failed an initial test on March 21st, 2026, due to an emission failure on the second fast idle lambda reading, alongside three tyres worn on their edges and a persistent engine oil leak. While the subsequent pass rectifies the immediate failure items, the ongoing pattern of advisories demonstrates that multiple mechanical subsystems require closer attention. The odometer progression shows steady, low annual mileage accumulation averaging roughly 5,682 miles per year over its twenty-year lifespan, with tests occurring reliably around March and April annually. Specifically, the vehicle recorded 113,631 miles by April 2026, building incrementally from tests in March 2025, March 2024, and March 2023. This low overall mileage does not eliminate the risk of component degradation, as rubber bushes, seals, and exhaust components suffer from age-related fatigue regardless of distance covered. Prospective buyers must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the persistent powertrain oil leak noted on the turbo across the 2023, 2025, and 2026 tests. The exhaust system warrants careful scrutiny due to recurring minor gas leaks documented in 2023, 2025, and the 2026 emissions failure, which points toward potential blowing joints or a degrading back box. Furthermore, the chassis requires evaluation of the rear axle swivel pins and bushes flagged as slightly worn in 2025, alongside the condition of the offside rear brake disc which appeared pitted and scored across consecutive tests.
