2015 Audi TT 2.0L Petrol · BO55 FMZ

A history of recent clean MOT results follows a period of significant brake-related failures and advisories, indicating a shift toward a period of recorded roadworthiness. While the most recent test on 07 April 2026 showed no defects, the vehicle's record includes a dangerous failure in November 2021 involving both nearside and offside rear brake pads measuring less than 1.5 mm thick, alongside rear brake discs that were recorded as seriously weakened. This failure was preceded by a 2020 advisory regarding rear brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored. Since those specific braking issues were addressed, the subsequent tests in 2022, 2024, 2025, and 2026 have all resulted in passes with no further defects or advisories noted. The vehicle has covered 69,522 miles over its eleven-year lifespan, which equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,320 miles. This usage pattern is relatively low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it has not been subjected to high-frequency long-distance motorway driving. Mechanically, this level of mileage typically means less cumulative wear on drivetrain components and suspension linkages compared to higher-mileage examples, though it can sometimes lead to components being used less frequently, which may affect the condition of rubber seals or the movement of braking components if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Given the previous history of significant rear brake wear and disc degradation, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during a test drive. Listen for any grinding or squealing noises from the rear of the car when applying the brakes, and feel for any pulsation or judder through the brake pedal, which could indicate uneven disc wear or warping. It is also prudent to check for any pulling to one side during braking, which might suggest a binding caliper or uneven pad application. While the recent records are clear, the previous issues with pitted and scored discs suggest that the rear braking assembly has been a point of wear. During the inspection, verify the condition of the rear brake discs for any signs of surface corrosion or scoring that may have developed if the car has been sitting idle. Additionally, because the mileage is relatively low, check for any signs of fluid weeping around the brake calipers or lines, as low-use vehicles can sometimes experience seal degradation.
