2004 Audi TT 1.8L Petrol · SH54 VGZ

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor, as the MOT record shows a sustained failing condition across multiple tests since the 2022 inspection. The most recent test recorded on 2025-07-16 at 108,611 miles was passed, but this is a significant anomaly given the vehicle's age and the pattern of failures immediately preceding it. The maintenance trend is clearly worsening, evidenced by the failure of critical components in multiple tests from 2022 to 2025. The inspection of the 2025-07-16 test indicates that the nearside and offside rear brake pipes, along with the coil springs, were covered in grease or other material, suggesting that the system was not maintained properly during this period. This deterioration in the 2025-07-16 record is the direct cause of the current roadworthiness assessment, as the vehicle has failed to meet the safety standards required for its age and mileage profile. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural and mechanical risks, specifically focusing on the suspension, brakes, and exhaust components. The recurring corrosion of the brake pipes and coil springs, combined with the lack of maintenance in the 2022-2025 period, indicates a lack of proper upkeep. While the 2025-07-16 test revealed no immediate failure, the history suggests that the vehicle may require further work, such as replacing brake linings, bushings, or springs, to prevent further damage to the drivetrain and suspension.
