2018 Audi TT 1.8L Petrol · LS18 TMV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a minor lapse in preventative maintenance. After three years of clean passes between 2023 and 2025, the car failed its test on 25 March 2026 at 30,307 miles due to tyre defects. The tester identified a nearside front tyre cut reaching the cords and a perishing nearside rear sidewall. The vehicle passed the re-test the following day at 30,313 miles, suggesting the owner addressed the immediate consumable failures rather than allowing them to escalate into mechanical risk. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old Audi, averaging approximately 3,789 miles per year. Data shows a consistent low-usage pattern, moving from 18,113 miles in March 2023 to 30,313 miles in March 2026. This low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components. However, the recent failure for tyre perishing suggests that the car may sit stationary for extended periods, which causes rubber compounds to age and crack regardless of the distance driven. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres to check for further sidewall dry cracking, as the recent record proves this is an issue. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or seizing, which often occurs when vehicles are not used frequently. While the structural integrity appears sound based on the lack of advisories over the last three years, the suspension bushes and rubber should be checked for signs of age-related degradation that low mileage alone does not prevent.
