Verdict
Coupé 2+2 à 4 places et au coffre de 305 litres, noté 4 étoiles à Euro NCAP en 2015 (pas de freinage d'urgence automatique à l'époque). Plusieurs rappels de sécurité touchent la génération : réservoir, airbag conducteur, isolation moteur. Les 2.0 TFSI peuvent consommer de l'huile et leur pompe à eau plastique est citée. FixMyCar rapporte pourtant de bons classements de fiabilité.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- Emissions of the versions in this guide: 134 to 153 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Consommation d'huile du 2.0 TFSI
Severity 2/3 · CostlyCarVerif indique que la majorité des 2.0 TFSI 230 et 245 ch dépassent 0,8 litre d'huile aux 5 000 km après 60 000 km, avec une facture de segments et joints d'environ 2 500 euros ; elle recommande les exemplaires postérieurs à 2019. Source unique, issue de témoignages de propriétaires : à confirmer.

Pompe à eau en plastique des EA888
Severity 2/3 · CostlyGetCarWise explique que le boîtier plastique de la pompe à eau des moteurs EA888 de 3e génération peut se fissurer et provoquer une perte de liquide de refroidissement, avec un risque de surchauffe si elle n'est pas détectée. Un utilisateur de Fiches-auto cite la pompe à eau dans l'entretien de sa 2.0 TFSI 230 ch.

Recalls published in France (RappelConso)
- 8 April 2022 — Les couvercles de moteurs de conception installés sur tous les véhicules concernés pourraient se détacher de leurs fixations en fonction des conditions d’utilisation (par exemple, conduite très sportive ou mauvaises surfaces routières) et de leur âge. Un couvercle de moteur lâche pourrait entrer en contact avec la zone chaude du turbocompresseur de gaz d’échappement, ce qui augmente le risque de brûlures ou d’incendie. Official notice

⚠ Estimates to treat with caution
- NEDC consumption (older, more optimistic than WLTP) as no WLTP figure is published: fuel is probably slightly underestimated.
- Insurance: brand average, as no average is published for this model.
- Maintenance: published servicing price plus an estimated allowance for tyres and brakes.
Calculation details (12,000 km a year)
- Fuel (petrol)€143
1.8 TFSI 180 version: combined consumption of 5.8 L/100 km, increased by 15% for real-world driving, at 2.14 €/L, for 1,000 km a month.
5.8 × 1.15 × 2.14 € × 10 = €143
Petrol price (SP95-E10): French national average on 7 October 2026.
- Insurance€88
Average monthly premium published for this model by insurance comparison sites (comprehensive cover when stated). Your premium depends on your profile.

Inspection checklist
Audi TT III (8S) — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier avec le numéro de série les rappels réalisés : réservoir, airbag conducteur et isolation moteur.
- Contrôler le niveau d'huile et demander la fréquence des appoints, surtout sur 2.0 TFSI.
- Chercher des traces de liquide de refroidissement autour de la pompe à eau.
- Sur S tronic, essayer la boîte à froid : certains utilisateurs signalent des accrochages au démarrage par temps froid.
- Vérifier que les vidanges de ponts et de boîte ont été faites selon le carnet.
Questions to ask the seller
- Les trois rappels (réservoir, airbag, isolation moteur) ont-ils été réalisés ? Attestation ?
- Quelle consommation d'huile entre deux vidanges ?
- La pompe à eau ou la boîte ont-elles déjà été réparées ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
Electric or hybrid equivalent

Parts and maintenance
Compare prices of parts for the Audi TT III (8S) (timing, brakes, filters) to estimate the repairs to plan for.
Insure the car
Insurance prices vary widely from one model to another: get a quote before signing.
