2016 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · A11 GAG

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 April 2026 at 116,929 miles. While the car remains roadworthy, the latest test identified a worn offside front lower suspension arm bush. Although the tester noted this did not result in excessive movement, it indicates the beginning of wear in the front-end suspension components that will require monitoring. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical ten-year usage pattern, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per year. The records show a steady increase from 79,759 miles in April 2023 to the current 116,929 miles. This progression suggests regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2025 test at 107,700 miles and the 2026 test shows a consistent annual driving habit of roughly 9,000 miles. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of tyre maintenance issues. In April 2024, the vehicle failed due to nearside rear tyre tread depth falling below the legal 1.6mm limit, and the 2023 test also flagged an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. This suggests the previous owner may have been reactive rather than proactive regarding consumable replacement. A buyer should check the current tread depth and condition of all four tyres to ensure they are not nearing the legal threshold. Mechanical attention should also be directed toward the braking system and suspension. The April 2023 record noted a pitted or scored rear inner brake disc, and the most recent 2026 advisory regarding the suspension bush suggests that rubber components are starting to perish. A physical inspection of the brake discs for surface corrosion and a thorough check of the suspension bushings and ball joints is recommended to preempt more costly repairs.
