2016 Audi TT 2.0L Diesel · KIA 1371

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test in May 2026 at 60,332 miles resulted in a pass despite identifying a damaged nearside rear tyre and pitted front brake discs. While the car passed its latest inspection, the recurring history of failures related to immediate-wear items like tyres and wipers suggests a pattern where faults are only addressed once they reach a legal failure point. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between the May 2024 test at 53,138 miles and the May 2025 test at 55,808 miles, the car covered only 2,670 miles, indicating low annual usage during that period. However, such low mileage can sometimes lead to the perishing of rubber components and tyres, which explains the cracking noted in the May 2025 failure. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front braking system, as the 2026 record flagged scored and pitted discs which often indicate long periods of standing or lack of regular cleaning. The recurring failures for tyre damage and cracking across 2025 and 2026 suggest the rubber may be aging prematurely regardless of tread depth. Additionally, the buyer should verify the suspension bushings for signs of cracking, as the low-mileage history often masks dry rot in rubber components that are not captured by a standard MOT test.
