2017 Audi TT 2.0L Petrol · HJ17 YFW

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear improving trend following a past failure. The most recent test in September 2025 at 29,708 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. Since the 2022 failure, the car has maintained a clean record across three annual inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per year. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the car covered only 1,322 miles, suggesting it sits for long periods or is used only for short trips. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, stationary vehicles often lead to the degradation of rubber elements and surface corrosion on metal parts, which was evident in the 2022 record. The 2022 failure at 26,427 miles highlights a specific period of neglected basic maintenance. The vehicle failed due to structural tears in both the offside front and nearside rear tyres, alongside poorly aligned headlamp aim and pitted brake discs. The fact that the brakes were replaced to pass the subsequent test that same month shows the owner responded to the faults, but a buyer should still inspect the current brake discs for surface rust or pitting, which is common on low-mileage cars that are not used frequently.
