2001 Audi TT 1.8L Petrol · T4 VRT

The 2024‑12‑23 MOT at 100,356 miles was passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance record shows a stable trend, with the vehicle passing the previous test after a November 2024 failure that addressed a washer fault, SRS warning, and tyre damage, and no subsequent decline in condition. At roughly 4,000 miles per year the mileage is low for a 25‑year‑old Audi TT, suggesting periods of limited use or standing. The odometer rose from 86,189 miles in February 2014 to 100,356 miles by December 2024, an increase of 14,167 miles over ten years, or about 1,400 miles annually, with the most recent 46‑mile increment between the November and December 2024 tests indicating minimal recent usage. Recurring advisories point to suspension wear – ball joint play was noted in 2018, 2019 and 2021 – and to front suspension components, including lower ball joints and track‑rod ends, which should be examined for looseness or worn bushes. Repeated tyre defects, including structural tears, edge wear and mis‑fitting, indicate the need for a thorough tyre inspection and wheel alignment, while the 2024 failure on the washer system and SRS lamp warrants functional testing of those circuits. A buyer should therefore prioritize a physical check of suspension bushes, ball joints and mounting brackets, verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, inspect wheel rims for distortion, test brake performance and disc condition, and confirm the operation of the washer pump and SRS warning lamp, as these items have repeatedly surfaced in the MOT history.
