2003 Audi TT 1.8L Petrol · YG03 AFN

The 2025-10-23 MOT at 107,567 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged an offside headlamp with a product on the lens, tyres worn close to the legal limit on both rear wheels, and a rear brake pipe corroded and covered in grease. Earlier failures show recurring rust on coil springs and brake pipes, and tyre wear that has persisted across multiple tests, indicating a maintenance trend that is neither improving nor stabilising. The vehicle, a 2003 model, has accumulated 107,567 miles, averaging 4,677 miles per year, which is low for its age. Mileage gaps are evident: after the 2021-05-05 pass at 90,246 miles, the next test was 2022-04-28 at 97,782 miles (7,536 miles in 11 months), followed by incremental increases to 102,540 miles in May 2024 and 107,567 miles in October 2025, suggesting periods of low use interspersed with regular driving. A buyer should examine the condition of the rear brake pipes and coil springs, as corrosion and perishing have recurred since 2021, with the 2024 and 2025 tests noting corroded near‑side and off‑side coil springs and a corroded rear brake pipe. The off‑side front suspension arm pin/bush wear and the condition of the anti‑roll bar linkages, especially the dust covers that have failed to prevent dirt ingress, merit close inspection. Additionally, the drive‑shaft constant‑velocity boots, steering rack gaiter, and rear prop‑shaft flexible coupling have shown deterioration in earlier records and should be checked for cracks or separation. Given the persistent mechanical and structural concerns, the vehicle is not demonstrably roadworthy without further remedial work; the buyer should verify that the identified faults have been fully rectified and that any underlying rust has been treated before committing to purchase.
