AUDI TT2002 · 1.8L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend following a minor mechanical failure. The most recent MOT conducted in July 2025 at 87,739 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the issues identified in the previous year have been rectified. This suggests the current ownership is proactive regarding necessary repairs, as the car returned to a clean sheet after failing on exhaust leaks and lighting alignment. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage between July 2022 (82,937 miles) and July 2025 (87,739 miles), covering just under 5,000 miles over three years. While this low annual mileage reduces the wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it increases the risk of age-related rubber degradation, perished seals, and brake corrosion if the vehicle sat stationary for long periods between uses. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the exhaust system, as the 2023 test flagged a minor leak at various joints. Although this was cleared in subsequent tests, rubber mounts and exhaust hangers often become brittle over decades regardless of mileage. Given the vehicle's age, the brake discs should be checked for surface pitting and seized calipers, as infrequent use can prevent the pads from cleaning the rotors effectively. Additionally, verifying the integrity of the suspension bushings and sidewalls is vital, as low-mileage, high-age vehicles often suffer from dry rot and bushing cracking compared to high-mileage counterparts.
