2003 Audi TT 1.8L Petrol · DH03 AAJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 17 May 2025 at 92,455 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a curious pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2024 and 2025. The lack of any advisory notices recorded on the successful tests suggests that the owner addresses specific faults only when they prevent passing the MOT rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a 23-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between the May 2023 test at 87,813 miles and the May 2025 test at 92,455 miles, the car covered only 4,642 miles over two years. This low usage often reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, but it increases the risk of rubber-based parts such as suspension bushes, seals, and tyres suffering from degradation due to age and long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion, as older Audi models from this era are prone to rust in the rear wheel arches and sills. Given the recurring failures followed by passes, it is vital to check for binding brake calipers or worn components that may have been replaced just before the test dates. The low mileage also necessitates a check of fluid freshness and the condition of the tyres, which can perish even if the vehicle is not frequently subjected to long driving cycles.
