2002 Audi TT 1.8L Petrol · XJ02 BAM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent pass record over the last several years. The most recent test in April 2024 at 119,472 miles resulted in a failure due to a defective offside front indicator and a faulty central windscreen wiper blade. These minor electrical issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass on the same day, indicating that the owner is responsive to MOT advisories and failures when flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Data shows a period of low use between March 2021 and March 2022, where the car covered only 1,184 miles in twelve months. However, the mileage increased significantly between March 2022 and April 2024, covering over 15,000 miles. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and potential corrosion in the braking system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills, as the MOT record does not explicitly mention corrosion, which is common for this era of Audi. Given the gaps in usage, a thorough check of the brake calipers and suspension bushes for seizing or perishability due to age is necessary. The failure of the indicator bulb suggests a basic check of the wiring loom and bulb sockets to ensure no deeper electrical faults exist that could cause future-related failures despite the relatively low odometer reading.
