2011 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · DU61 ANX

This Audi A1 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 March 2026 at 92,413 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 15 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,161 miles per year. Usage patterns appear consistent, with a steady increase from 67,517 miles in October 2022 to 92,413 miles by March 2026. A brief anomaly occurred in November 2023, where the car failed a test at 73,160 miles only to pass eight days later at 73,188 miles. The lack of recorded defects for either the failure or the subsequent pass is unusual for DVSA records, but the rapid turnaround indicates the issue was rectified immediately. Because the MOT history is exceptionally clean, it provides little data on the wear of specific components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common age-related wear items that do not always trigger an MOT failure unless they reach a critical limit. This includes checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber or hairline cracks. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion or brake wear is positive, but a manual check of the brake discs for liping and the tyres for uneven wear is recommended. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential, as these critical engine components are not assessed during a standard MOT test.
