AUDI A12016 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean MOT pass in February 2026 at 49,767 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows improvement following the 2025 test, where suspension-related issues were identified and addressed. While earlier records indicated minor wear and tear, the most recent data suggests that the previous owner was proactive in resolving mechanical advisories before they escalated into test failures. The mileage pattern is significantly low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the records between January 2023 at 23,167 miles and January 2024 at 37,768 miles, where the car covered over 14,000 miles in a single year. While low mileage generally reduces strain on the drivetrain and engine, the infrequent use can sometimes lead to rubber components deteriorating or brakes seizing if the vehicle sits for extended periods. Physical inspection should focus specifically on the front suspension assembly, as the July 2025 test flagged wear on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm bushes. Although these did not cause a failure at the time, they indicate the beginning of a replacement cycle. A buyer should also verify the current condition of the tyres, as the 2024 history shows issues with cuts, nails, and uneven wear on the offside front, which suggests inconsistent alignment or delayed replacement in the past.
