2014 Audi TT 1.8L Petrol · K24 RAT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in May 2026 at 76,684 miles resulted in several advisories regarding worn front brake discs and issues with the nearside rear tyre. While the car passed, the presence of these defects shortly after a clean test the previous year suggests the owner is only addressing consumable components once they reach the point of legal failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year over its twelve-year life. There is a significant jump in usage recorded between the May 2024 test at 39,361 miles and the May 2025 test at 58,012 miles. This period of higher activity explains the subsequent appearance of wear on components. The May 2025 failure at 57,696 miles was limited to a damaged windscreen, which was rectified quickly before the passing test, indicating a delay in glass repairs. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system, as the pitting and scoring on the front discs indicate either corrosion from periods of standing or aggressive driving. The recurring issue with the nearside rear tyre being worn to the edge in both 2023 and 2026 suggests a persistent alignment problem or a worn suspension bush that has not been addressed. Check the remaining tyres for age-related cracking or uneven wear, as the low annual mileage often masks the degradation of rubber components over time.
