2004 Audi TT 1.8L Petrol · EX04 AAV

The February 2026 MOT at 102,341 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern: earlier failures and advisories for rear coil‑spring corrosion, brake‑pipe corrosion, tyre wear and suspension wear have been resolved or mitigated, and the most recent test is clean. Mileage accumulation over the vehicle’s 22‑year life totals 102,341 miles, averaging roughly 4,650 miles per year, which is low for a 2004 model. Recent annual increments have slowed, with only 3,378 miles added between the February 2025 test (98,963 miles) and the February 2026 test (102,341 miles), compared with 5,698 miles between February 2023 (88,681 miles) and February 2024 (94,379 miles). MOT entries are spaced about twelve months apart, providing a consistent inspection cadence. A prospective buyer should inspect the rear coil springs for corrosion, the rear brake pipe for grease or corrosion, and the rear brake pads and discs for thin wear and pitting. Suspension components such as the Macpherson strut pin/bush and top mount should be checked for excessive movement. Tyre condition warrants close attention, especially inner‑edge wear on all four tyres and tread depth on the rear tyres that were noted near legal limits. Verify that the child‑seat fitting does not obstruct full inspection of the adult belt, and confirm registration plate compliance. Addressing any rust or wear identified will be essential to maintain the vehicle’s structural integrity and braking performance.
