2017 Audi TT 1.8L Petrol · YL17 KCV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of decline in the most recent inspection. While it passed the previous three tests without any advisories, the latest MOT in April 2026 identified issues related to tyre wear and condition, specifically worn edges and a cracking offside rear tyre. This suggests that while the car is mechanically functional, routine consumable maintenance has recently been neglected. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between April 2024 and April 2025, where the car covered over 12,600 miles in a single year, compared to the lower usage of roughly 9,000 miles in the preceding period. This sudden uptick in driving likely explains the appearance of increased wear on the tyres and braking components noted in the latest tests. A prospective buyer should perform a close inspection of the suspension and alignment, as the advisory regarding uneven tyre wear on edges often indicates poor tracking geometry or worn suspension bushes. Given that the offside front brake disc was flagged as pitted in 2024, a thorough check of the entire braking system is necessary to ensure rotors and pads are not beyond simple replacement. Additionally, the age and condition of all tyres should be verified for perishing or cracking, as the recent test confirms the rubber is beginning to deteriorate despite having legal tread depth.
