How many Audi TTs are left in Great Britain?
There were 58,316 Audi TTs licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 17,553 declared off the road (SORN).
That is 29.7% fewer than the peak of 82,903 in 2016.
Audi TTs licensed in Great Britain
Numbers peaked in 2016 and have fallen every year since, as older cars are scrapped faster than new ones are registered.
In 2025, 76.8% of Audi TT MOT tests were passed first time,
against 72.8% for all cars.
Cars of the same ages as the Audi TTs tested pass 68.1% of the time, so the Audi TT does better than average for its age, by 8.7 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 75.8%.

more than one category, so shares add up to more than 100%.
6.5% of Audi TT tests found at least one dangerous defect, against 7.3% for all cars.

The single most common reason a Audi TT failed its MOT in 2025 was
“Tyres: tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm”, on 11.0% of 25,947 failed tests.
49.7% of tests ended with at least one advisory, a problem to watch that did not fail the test; the most common was “Tread depth: worn close to legal limit or worn on edge”.

23 years of the Audi TT, by year of first registration, have their own page with MOT results, common faults, mileage and how many are left. Against all cars of the same age, the 2012 cars did best at their 2025 MOT (80.7% passed first time) and the 2000 cars worst (61.3%).
Registered: cars on the DVLA record at the end of the year they were first registered (these counts start in 2014, so older years show a dash). Left:

Both cover the United Kingdom. Pass rate: first-time passes at normal MOT tests in Great
Britain in 2025; all cars: every car first registered the same year.

How we use engine sizes.
Audi TT fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Audi TT from 2000, when the data begins, to 2018. On the NEDC test (listings 2000 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 26.3 to 62.8 mpg, with CO2 of 116 to 257 g/km.
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2000 to 2018
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2000 to 2018
Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
VCA’s data has no Audi versions for 2019 to 2024, so the years listed may leave out years the Audi TT was on sale.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “TT Coupé”, “TT Roadster”, “Audi TT (Coupé)”, “Audi TT (Roadster)”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Audi TT safety recalls
DVSA lists 14 safety recalls for the Audi TT since 1992, the first in 2000. The most recent was launched on 25 February 2026.
Replacing Takata driver airbag
Launched 25 February 2026DVSA recall R/2026/089Manufacturer ref. 69S8
Defect
The safety of our customers and the reliability and long-term service life of our models represent our top priority. For this reason Audi conducts programmes to constantly monitor the quality of its products.Extensive analyses have found that the gas generator housing for your vehicle’s front airbag may in extremely rare cases be overloaded and even burst when the front airbag is triggered. If this were to happen small metal parts could become dislodged from the housing and potentially cause life-threatening injury to a vehicle occupant.
Remedy
As a precautionary safety measure it is necessary to replace the airbag unit. The work required will take approximately two hours and will of course be performed free of charge. Please note for organisational reasons the Audi Centre may require your vehicle for longer they will advise you of this at the point of booking.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Audi TT. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
