2001 Audi TT 1.8L Petrol · WL51 AFN

The most recent 2026‑04‑10 MOT confirms the Audi TT remains legally roadworthy, though the test recorded several lamp and washer deficiencies that constitute minor failures rather than dangerous defects. The vehicle’s maintenance trend is stagnant, with only 73 miles added between the July 2021 and April 2026 tests, indicating prolonged periods of standing and limited use since the previous inspection. At 25 years old and 118,918 recorded miles, the car averages roughly 4,757 miles per year, a figure that is low for its age and suggests long intervals between usage. Mileage rose steadily from 89,314 mi in 2011 to 115,975 mi in 2017, then plateaued, with the recent jump from 118,845 mi in 2021 to 118,918 mi in 2026 representing minimal accumulation. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and anti‑roll bar linkage for play, examine the constant‑velocity joint gaiters for damage, and check the rear off‑side brake pipe for corrosion noted in 2016. Functional testing of all front lamps, washer nozzles and the ABS warning lamp is essential, as is a visual assessment of structural rust and tyre condition, given the recurring lamp product buildup and washer insufficiency observed in the latest record.
