2006 Audi TT 2.0L Petrol · J80 MCU

The 2006 Audi TT has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over its most recent MOT cycles, with both tests in 2022 and 2025 passing without any recorded defects. The latest inspection on 24 September 2025, at 147,077 miles, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK MOT standards, though the absence of advisories or defects does not preclude underlying wear beyond the scope of a visual or basic functional test. The gap between tests—just over three years—is standard for this vehicle age, but the lack of any repeated issues suggests no obvious pattern of neglect or recurring mechanical failure. Mileage progression indicates typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 7,350 miles annually. The recorded mileage increased by approximately 3,408 miles between the 2022 and 2025 tests, a rate consistent with moderate, regular use rather than aggressive driving or prolonged inactivity. There are no red flags in the spacing of tests or mileage jumps, though the sparse data—only two MOTs in nearly four years—means some wear patterns may not be fully captured. Buyers should note that longer intervals between tests could mask minor issues that might have been addressed earlier. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear components that often fall outside the scope of a standard test. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven sagging, excessive play, or corrosion, as these are common failure points in a vehicle of this age and mileage. Brake systems warrant close scrutiny, including the condition of discs, pads, and calipers, for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard or in stop-start conditions. Structural integrity is also critical; check for corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and subframes, as Audi TTs from this era are prone to rust-related weakening. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system, particularly at joints and mounts, where leaks or detachment could indicate prior neglect.
