AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent shift toward structural concerns. The most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 84,366 miles passed, but the tester flagged general corrosion to both rear lower suspension arms. This represents a departure from the clean records seen between 2020 and 2024, suggesting that age-related degradation is beginning to surface. The mileage pattern indicates light usage for a 2009 vehicle, averaging approximately 4,963 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual testing, though there was a notable gap in recorded mileage between the 2016 test at 31,908 miles and the 2019 test at 48,942 miles. Aside from this period, the vehicle has been driven in steady, predictable increments. The low overall mileage may suggest infrequent use, which can sometimes lead to component stagnation or dry seals, though the consistent MOT history suggests the car has remained in active service. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the rear suspension assembly. The corrosion noted in the October 2025 test on the lower arms may indicate broader issues with the subframe or chassis if left unaddressed. While the brake discs showed recurring pitting and scoring issues throughout the earlier years of the record, specifically in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2018, these appear to have been resolved or managed through routine maintenance. The history also highlights past neglect regarding tyre maintenance, particularly the 2014 failure involving exposed cords and sidewall damage. While recent tests show no tyre defects, the buyer should verify that the current rubber is not aged or perishing due to the low annual mileage. Focus should remain on the transition from consumable wear to the structural corrosion currently appearing in the rear suspension components.

Our Verdict

A solid purchase option for those seekin

When inspecting this specific 2.0L petrol TT, your primary focus should be the underside of the vehicle. The 2025 MOT advisory regarding corrosion on both rear lower suspension arms suggests that while the car has passed, there is active oxidation that will require attention to prevent future failure.

Request a detailed service history to see if the suspension components or related bushings have been addressed. Given the mileage is well above the statistical average for this model, check for any signs of wear in the drivetrain and ensure the turbocharger (common to this engine size) shows no signs of oil leaks or excessive smoke.

Running this 1984cc petrol engine will involve moderate fuel costs depending on your driving style. As an older performance-oriented coupe, insurance groups tend to be higher than standard hatchbacks, so obtain a quote based on the SV08ABV registration before committing.

Maintenance costs for Audi components can be higher than for mainstream brands. While the MOT history doesn't show frequent failures, you should budget for periodic replacements of tyres and headlamps, which are common failure points for this model aggregate. Estimated annual running costs are typically mid-range for this class of vehicle.

The most critical inspection point for this vehicle is the rear suspension area. The 2025 MOT record specifically noted general corrosion to both rear lower suspension arms; you should inspect these closely for deep pitting or structural weakness.

Additionally, because the aggregate data for this model highlights tyres and headlamps as top failure reasons, check the tread depth and age of the current tyres, and ensure the headlight lenses are clear and not heavily oxidised. Finally, given the 84,366 mileage, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension when driving over uneven surfaces to ensure the reported corrosion hasn't progressed to mechanical play.

This 2009 black Audi TT has covered 84,366 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,183 miles per year. The MOT history shows a consistent pass record over the last five years, with no defects recorded between 2021 and 2024. However, the most recent test in October 2025 flagged corrosion on the rear lower suspension arms.

The Audi TT shows an average MOT pass rate of 82.8% across the aggregate data, with common issues relating to tyres, lighting, and exhaust systems.
