It’s a service report from January this year of a 2016 1.8 Audi TT TFSI sport that I’m looking to buy, however I’m not sure about the wording of this report in terms of the ‘front brake discs slightly lipped’ and ‘rear discs corroded’, as it then goes on to advising changing at 100,000 miles (car is currently at 74k) - but is this just referring to the screen wash and spark plugs?
Should the discs be done much sooner? I’ve read that brake discs can be slightly lipped and cause no problem until they begin nearing their minimum thickness, as well as rusted discs not being a major issue and can be rectified with more frequent car use? But I really don’t know anything about this myself, so just wanted some clarification before potentially buying this car
He is alerting you to forthcoming issues. The front rotors are wearing, which is normal and ok as long as they havent worn past minimum thickness. The rears are corroded which may not be ok come MOT time. He hasnt added any windscreen wash fluid because the reservoir is full. He hasnt fitted spark plugs because the car hasnt done enough miles to yet need them. They will need fitted at 100k miles.
Thanks a lot for the info - I went ahead and bought the car today and the dealership is having an MOT done for me on Monday. They have said they will pay for any work that needs doing if it fails for any reason.
I also brought my Dad along with me to view the car, and he has assured me the corroded discs don’t look any worse than your average… Fingers crossed everything is as it should be
