AUDI A12017 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift towards worsening regarding rubber components. While the most recent test in March 2026 passed without major failures, it introduced an advisory for perishing and cracking across all four tyres. This marks a departure from the 2022 to 2024 period where the car presented with no defects recorded whatsoever. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,300 miles per year. There is a consistent gap between annual tests; for instance, the car covered roughly 600 miles between 2025 and 2026, and another 624 miles in the preceding year. This de-facto low-usage suggests the car has sat stationary for long periods between drives, which often correlates with the age-related degradation of rubber parts seen in the recent inspection history. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the tyres, as the recurring advisories for perishing and cracking indicate the rubber is drying out despite having enough tread depth. Despite the low mileage, the buyer should also check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting as low-mileage vehicles are prone to oxidation when not used frequently. Additionally, the suspension bushings and seals should be examined to ensure that long periods of standing have not caused premature cracking or hardening of these components.
