AUDI A12017 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 81,316 miles, but this was only after addressing a failure for tyre tread depth. The test history shows a consistent pattern of high wear on consumables, specifically brakes and tyres, rather than structural or mechanical defects. In 2023, the car failed due to rear brake pads being less than 1.5mm thick. By the 2024 test, the focus had shifted to the front brakes, which were recorded as wearing thin, alongside cuts on both front tyres. The 2025 failure confirms that the front tyres eventually wore below the legal limit, with the offside front tyre also worn on the edge. While the lifetime mileage average of roughly 9,000 miles per year is typical for a car of this age, the recent usage is significantly higher. The odometer increased by nearly 18,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, indicating a period of heavy use. This explains the rapid degradation of tyres and brakes. The condition trend is stable regarding maintenance, as the owner clearly addresses defects to pass the test, but the rate of wear is accelerating due to this higher annual mileage. You should inspect the front tyres immediately, as they were replaced or repaired to pass the test nine months ago and may have worn down significantly since then given the recent mileage accumulation.
