2010 Audi TT 2.0L Petrol · P50 CAY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 6 January 2026 at 49,224 miles. However, the maintenance trend is worsening. While the car previously enjoyed long periods of clean tests, the last three years show a recurring pattern of neglect regarding consumables. The most recent test flagged both front inner tyres as worn close to the legal limit and identified a severely deteriorated dust cover on the nearside front upper anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 3,076 miles per year. The odometer shows a steady, low-volume increase from 13,383 miles in December 2012 to the current 49,224 miles. This low usage pattern often leads to rubber components perishing due to age rather than wear, which is evident in the records. A buyer must prioritize the inspection of all rubber components and tyres. The MOT history shows a persistent failure to address perishing rear tyres, which were flagged as cracking or perishing in three consecutive tests from January 2022 through January 2024. This suggests a previous owner who ignored advisories until they became critical. The recent mention of a deteriorated ball joint dust cover indicates that the suspension seals are beginning to fail. Check the brake system and tyre tread depth across all four corners. The January 2024 test noted thin rear brake pads, and the January 2026 test highlighted uneven wear on the front inner edges. This specific wear pattern often points to incorrect wheel alignment or suspension geometry issues. Given the car's age and low mileage, a thorough check for seized calipers or perished suspension bushes is necessary to ensure the chassis has not suffered from long periods of inactivity.
