2017 Audi TT 1.8L Petrol · AX17 OEF

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 1 June 2026 at 59,991 miles, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend, however, shows a persistent and unresolved problem with the front brake discs. This component was advised as worn in May 2024, then directly caused a test failure in May 2025. While repaired for a retest the same day, the discs were still recorded as worn, indicating the underlying issue was not fully corrected. This represents a worsening cycle for a critical safety item. Mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,666 miles per year. The period from May 2024 to May 2025 saw a reasonable increase of about 5,000 miles. The subsequent year to June 2026, however, added nearly 8,700 miles, suggesting a recent increase in usage that would accelerate wear on components already showing a history of deterioration, particularly the braking system. A buyer must prioritise a detailed inspection of the front brake discs, measuring thickness and checking for deep scoring or pitting beyond the minimum legal limit, given their recurring failure history. The rear brake pads, advised as thin in May 2024, should be assessed for remaining material. Tyres require a close examination for sidewall cuts and uneven edge wear, as both were previous issues. While the failed registration plate lamp and missing sun visor were rectified, verify all lighting and minor fittings function correctly. No structural corrosion is indicated in the record, but an in-person underbody inspection remains advisable for a vehicle of this age.
