2017 Audi TT 1.8L Petrol · DC67 HCP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in basic upkeep standards. The most recent test on December 9, 2025 at 74,694 miles resulted in a failure due to insufficient washer fluid and multiple bald tyres. While the car passed immediately after these repairs, the presence of three tyres worn to the legal limit suggests a lapse in proactive consumable maintenance compared to the previous three years of clean records. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per annum. Between the December 2022 test at 34,037 miles and the December 2024 test at 63,416 miles, the car covered 29,379 miles, showing a steady usage rate. The further 11,278 miles covered between late 2024 and late 2025 maintains this trend. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally better for rubber components and mechanical seals than long periods of stationary storage. A buyer should specifically inspect the vehicle for uneven tyre, as the 2025 failure noted multiple tyres worn on the edges. This often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that were not flagged as specific advisories. Given the mileage, a physical check of the front control arms and shock absorbers for leaks or play is advisable to ensure no hidden wear. Since the record shows no structural corrosion or brake failures in previous years, the mechanical integrity of the chassis appears sound, but the recent failure highlights a need to verify that the current owner is now attending to the root cause of the uneven wear.
