2011 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · FT11 AED

This Audi A1 is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 January 2026 at 70,427 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its test on 20 January 2026, the immediate pass the following day suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. The vehicle has covered 70,427 miles over 15 years, averaging roughly 4,695 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK average for this age. The mileage accumulation has remained consistent and low, increasing by 5,429 miles between April 2024 and January 2026. There are no erratic jumps in the odometer readings to suggest clocking or prolonged periods of stagnation. The MOT history is exceptionally clean for a car of this vintage. No advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion appear across the last three years of testing. The lack of flagged issues with exhaust emissions or tyre tread suggests a disciplined approach to basic upkeep by previous owners. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that often degrade during low-mileage use. Check for perished rubber seals, brittle suspension bushings, and potential brake caliper seizure due to inactivity. While the DVSA records show no faults, a manual check for oil leaks and a review of the service intervals will confirm if the mechanical care matched the clean MOT record.
