2017 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · HV17 AEP

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 4 September 2025 at 60,568 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend of clean passes across the last five years indicates a stable maintenance regime where the previous owners have proactively addressed the vehicle's requirements without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between the August 2021 test at 28,415 miles and the September 2025 test at 60,568 miles, the car covered 32,153 miles, showing steady usage without outliers. This suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to the extreme stress of high-mileage commuting nor has it suffered from long periods of stagnation that often lead to seized calipers or perished rubber components in more neglected low-mileage cars. Since the official record shows no issues with brake efficiency, exhaust emissions, or suspension components, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear that MOT tests often overlook. A buyer should check the condition of the tyres for uneven wear and inspect the brake discs for signs of thinning or pitting. Given the low mileage relative to the age, checking the integrity of rubber bushings and suspension mounts for cracking is advisable to ensure age-related degradation has not begun despite the lack of mechanical wear.
