2004 Audi TT 1.8L Petrol · SJ04 HRE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 28 July 2023 at 86,836 miles resulted in no recorded defects. This follows a period of clean passes in 2021 and 2022, indicating that the car has maintained a standard of presentation without recurring mechanical or structural failures during the testing process. The mileage profile is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,947 miles per annum. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between September 2020 and September 2021, where the car covered only 643 miles in a full year. Between the 2021 and July 2023 tests, the vehicle covered 2,948 miles. While this low usage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can lead to rubber-based components and fluid degradation due to extended periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than just mileage. Check the suspension assembly, specifically the rubber bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, as these parts become brittle over time regardless of distance driven. Inspect the brake discs for signs of pitting or scoring, which often occurs on vehicles that sit stationary. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough under check of the structural integrity and sills is also essential to ensure that hidden rust has not developed despite the clean MOT history.
