Audi Tt S Line TDI Ultra (2016)
2016 Audi Tt S Line TDI Ultra
CarHunch analysed 151 real MOT records for the 2016 Audi Tt S Line TDI Ultra. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2016 Audi TT S Line TDI Ultra has a first-time pass rate of 68.7%, which sits 11 percentage points below the UK average of 80%, suggesting these cars need more attention to pass inspection than most vehicles their age. The good news is that dangerous defects are essentially absent from the cohort, and when failures do occur they're infrequent at just 0.11 per vehicle on average.
At 62,170 miles median mileage, these cars have been driven moderately for their age, which makes the below-average pass rate more concerning rather than less—it's not simply a case of high-mileage wear. If you're considering one, budget for pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist and ask the seller for full service records, as the failure data suggests intermittent issues rather than consistent major problems.
What to check before buying a 2016 Audi Tt S Line TDI Ultra
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
