2007 Audi TT 3.2L Petrol · SJ07 CAA

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-28 shows a FAIL with multiple critical issues. The nearside rear shock absorber had a serious fluid leak , and the offside front coil spring was fractured or broken . Both headlamps had severely reduced light output due to lens coatings, and an oil leak was noted. These findings indicate significant wear on suspension components and safety-critical lighting, which require immediate attention. A PASS on the same date included an oil leak (non-excessive), suggesting this issue has persisted or reoccurred. Earlier in 2025, the vehicle had tire wear near legal limits and headlamp failures , while a 2025-01-27 FAIL highlighted a corroded fuel tank strap , worn anti-roll bar joint , and insecure undertray . These recurring issues point to a pattern of degrading mechanical and structural integrity , particularly in suspension, lighting, and body components. The suspension system appears to be the most concerning area. The 2026-01-28 fractured coil spring and shock absorber leak are severe, potentially compromising handling and safety. Earlier MOTs show worn ball joints and insecure undertrays , which may have contributed to progressive suspension wear.
