AUDI A12017 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline regarding consumable component management. The most recent test on 14 May 2026 at 66,957 miles identified sidewall damage and perishing on both the nearside and offside rear tyres. This follows a June 2024 advisory at 46,899 miles where the tyres were flagged as being near the legal limit. The mileage pattern is consistent and reflects a low-use profile, averaging approximately 7,440 miles per year over the recorded period. Between the June 2022 test at 31,655 miles and the May 2026 test at 66,957 miles, the car covered roughly 35,000 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress nor has it sat for extended periods, which explains the presence of aged rubber perishing in the most recent inspection despite the relatively low overall mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear tyres and rubber components. The recurring issues with tyre wear and perishing indicate that previous owners have deferred replacing tyres until they reached a failure point. Given the age of the vehicle, the inspector should also check for cracking in the wiper blades and suspension bushings, as these often degrade on low-mileage cars. The absence of any recorded structural corrosion or brake failures in the five-year history suggests the core chassis and braking system remain in a stable condition.
