2012 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · V24 LAR

The vehicle currently stands on the road as roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning pattern of stagnation and deterioration. In the September 2023 test at 62,216 miles, the tester flagged four cracked and perished tyres, a condition that suggests the vehicle has not undergone basic upkeep since that date and is likely to fail inspection again in the near future. This indicates that the owner has likely skipped routine inspections, allowing wear on the chassis, suspension, and drivetrain to accumulate unchecked. Regarding the mileage trend, the data is sparse and clean, with only three distinct test dates spanning from February 2023 to February 2025. The vehicle only passed MOTs between these specific intervals, meaning no new evidence of wear or damage has been recorded since the last check. This lack of data points to a situation where the owner may have driven the car for extended periods without maintenance, or they may have driven it very little, resulting in the accumulation of wear that is currently masked by the absence of failure records. Consequently, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension and drivetrain components, as the history of cracked tyres and perished tyres strongly implies a risk of failure. The tester flagged binding rear brakes, which suggests that the brake discs may be worn down or that the binding calipers are failing to hold the brakes firmly, indicating a potential hazard. Additionally, the history of dust covers on the upper and lower dust covers for the anti-roll bar ball joints suggests that these parts may be subject to the same wear and tear as the tyres, requiring immediate visual and functional testing to ensure they do not become a source of failure.
