2008 Audi TT 2.0L Petrol · BN08 CDX

The most recent MOT on 2025-07-16 showed both rear tyres slightly damaged/cracking or perishing, consistent with earlier entries from 2024, 2023, and 2022. These issues have persisted annually, indicating a recurring tyre condition rather than a one-off defect. No new safety-critical faults were recorded in the latest test, but the continued presence of tyre degradation raises concerns about their structural integrity. The pattern of defects shows a stable trend for tyre-related issues, with no escalation in severity. However, the nearside front drive shaft joint constant velocity boot was severely deteriorated in 2021, 2022, and 2023, suggesting a potential repair or replacement was undertaken between 2023 and 2024, as this fault is absent from the 2024 and 2025 MOTs. This implies the issue may have been addressed, but its recurrence in prior years highlights a risk of ongoing drivetrain component wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 106,759 miles over 18 years equates to roughly 5,931 miles per year, which is low for its age. This could indicate light use or periods of inactivity, both of which may accelerate tyre perishing and component corrosion. While lower mileage often correlates with less mechanical wear, the tyre condition suggests age-related deterioration rather than usage-driven damage. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the current state of all tyres for cracks, bulges, or uneven wear, as these may compromise safety.
