2016 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · HIB 3311

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 16 March 2026 at 25,347 miles which returned zero defects. The maintenance trend is improving, as the mechanical and consumable issues identified in previous years have been rectified, resulting in three consecutive years of clean passes. This suggests the current owner is proactively addressing identified faults rather than allowing them to escalate. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,535 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the car covered only 10,162 miles, indicating a pattern of very infrequent use. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, such as bushings and seals, which can perish or crack over time regardless of distance travelled. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the offside front suspension, specifically noted in the March 2023 test at 18,242 miles. The tester flagged a worn suspension arm bush then, and while the vehicle passed since, low-mileage cars often suffer from seized brake calipers or perished tyre mounts. Verify the current brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often leads to rust buildup on the braking surfaces. The tyres should also be checked for flat spotting or cracking, given the 2023 record showed they were already reaching the legal limit despite the low mileage.
