2010 Audi TT 1.8L Petrol · P22 CAA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean recent history. The most recent test on 3 July 2026 at 45,805 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of successful annual inspections since July 2023. While the car has experienced failures in the past, the current status suggests that previous mechanical issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a high standard of compliance. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 2010 model, averaging approximately 2,863 miles per year. The records show a steady, incremental increase in distance, such as the 1,951-mile rise between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests. This low usage pattern suggests the vehicle has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short trips. Such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to neglected maintenance on consumables, but the MOT history indicates the owner has remained proactive in rectifying issues as they arise. The maintenance history reveals specific recurring themes regarding consumables and structural components. The tester flagged significant tyre wear and exposed cords on both rear tyres during the July 2024 failure at 42,046 miles, which required immediate replacement to pass. Earlier, in July 2022 at 38,310 miles, the vehicle failed due to corrosion on both rear suspension arms, with the nearside arm noted as seriously weakened. This indicates that despite the low mileage, the vehicle has been susceptible to component degradation, likely due to age or environmental exposure rather than heavy use. A prospective buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension assembly to ensure the previously corroded arms have been replaced with high-quality parts and that no further oxidation is present on the subframe. The history also shows frequent advisories for thinning brake pads and worn tyres dating back to 2014. While these are standard consumable items, a buyer should check the current thickness of all brake pads and discs, as well as the condition of the tyres, to ensure they are not approaching the legal limits seen in previous years.
