How ULEZ rules apply to the TT
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Petrol (83% of TT models tested): likely compliant from 2006; 2000 and earlier are likely to be charged.
- Diesel (17% of TT models tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2013 and earlier are likely to be charged.
TT models from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (23% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Audi can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Audi TT for London: what the MOT data shows
The Audi TT models in this data were first registered between 1999 and 2021. 2016 was the most common year, with 9,258 tests (8% of the total), and half were registered in 2011 or later.
TT models from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 81% of the time, at an average of 66,099 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 74% of the time with 89,174 miles on average, so a compliant car is usually the more reliable buy as well as the cheaper one to drive in London.
On a budget, the oldest petrol TT models likely to comply are from 2006. 3,072 of them were tested; 2006 cars passed first time 62% of the time and averaged 103,719 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
On a budget, the oldest diesel TT models likely to comply are from 2016. 2,059 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 89% of the time and averaged 47,615 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the TT's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (4.0% of tests); tyres: "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm" (2.8%); suspension: "fractured or broken" (2.6%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 15.7% of tests.
Overall, 76% of TT models passed first time, noticeably above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 76,846 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
