AUDI TT2013 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent test on 13 October 2025 at 72,897 miles failed due to a fractured nearside front coil spring and a nearside rear brake disc. While the car passed the following day after these repairs, the recurring nature of brake-related issues suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure rather than during scheduled service intervals. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 72,897 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,600 miles. This usage pattern is remarkably consistent, with intervals of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles between annual tests from 2022 to 2025. However, low-mileage vehicles suffer from accelerated degradation of rubber components and corrosion due to extended periods of sitting, which explains the pitting and scoring observed on the brake discs across multiple MOT tests over the last three-year period. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The record shows the nearside rear brake was binding in 2024 and scored/pitted by 2025, indicating a sticking caliper piston or seized slide pins that could lead to uneven wear. Furthermore, the fractured coil spring in 2025 indicates that the suspension components should be checked for signs of stress or heavy corrosion. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, attention should also be paid to perished bushings and tyre sidewalls which often degrade over time regardless of the distance driven.
