2020 Audi A1 1.5L Petrol · TR70 CKY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding brake component wear. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 24,289 miles passed, the tester flagged thin offside front brake pads and both rear pads. This follows a similar advisory from the 2024 test at 18,161 miles, where all four brake pads were noted as wearing thin. The clean record from the 2023 test at 12,659 miles indicates that these issues have only emerged within the last two years. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,048 miles per year. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the car covered 5,502 miles, while an additional 6,128 miles were recorded in the following year. This low annual usage suggests the car has likely been used for short urban trips, which often explains the premature wear of brake pads despite the low overall mileage, as frequent braking in city traffic can down consumables faster than long-distance motorway driving. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the braking system to ensure these advisories have been addressed. Given the recurring nature of the thin pads across two consecutive tests, the discs should be checked for scoring, pitting, or uneven glazing which occurs when pads are neglected. Because the mileage is low, it is also vital to inspect the rubber components of the suspension for cracking or perish rot, as these parts degrade when vehicles sit stationary for long periods. The lack of structural defects or corrosion warnings in the record suggests the chassis remains in good condition.
