2016 AUDI TT2.0L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 23 July 2025 at 70,000 miles showed a pass following a failure just two miles prior. This failure originated from inoperative LED headlamp cleaning devices and a corroded nearside rear coil spring. While these issues were rectified to secure the pass, the presence of corrosion on suspension components suggests that parts are only addressed once they reach a legal failure threshold. At 70,000 miles over ten years, the Audi has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per annum, which is consistent with a low-use profile. The data shows a significant jump in usage between August 2023 at 49,959 miles and August 2024 at 61,386 miles, representing an increase of over 11,000 miles in a single year. However, usage slowed again to roughly 8,600 miles between the 2024 and July 2025 tests. This irregular pattern can sometimes lead to uneven degradation of rubber components and seals during periods of lower mileage. A prospective buyer should focus the physical inspection on the suspension geometry and tyres. The corroded nearside rear coil spring noted in 2025 warrants a check of the opposite side and all associated bushes for similar structural decay. The MOT history also highlights recurring issues with tyre wear in both 2022 and 2024, indicating that previous owners likely deferred tyre replacements until they reached the legal limit. Verify that the headlamp cleaning mechanisms are now fully functional, as their failure indicates a potential electrical or pump issue that can be expensive to rectify on modern LED units.
