2014 AUDI A11.4L Petrol

The 2026‑02‑06 MOT at 105,237 miles confirms the 2014 Audi A1 is presently roadworthy, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend remains stable, as each successive test has passed without new failures, though recurring suspension wear first noted in 2024 suggests ongoing attention to strut top mounts and suspension arm bushes. Mileage accumulation aligns with the vehicle’s 12‑year age, averaging roughly 8,800 miles per year. However, the intervals between tests reveal periods of rapid use: mileage rose by 4,291 miles in the seven months from August 2021 to March 2022, and by 14,303 miles between March 2023 and March 2024, indicating heavier usage in those years. Recurring faults centre on suspension components – the off‑side front strut pin or bush and the suspension arm pin or bush have been flagged in 2024 and 2025, while tyre wear, particularly uneven inner‑edge wear on the rear tyres, appears in 2021, 2020 and 2024. A buyer should inspect the condition of the strut top mounts, suspension arm bushes and pins for excessive play or binding, examine brake discs and calipers for binding, and verify tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity. Structural rust on the chassis and underbody should also be assessed, as should the correctness of any previous headlight adjuster alterations. Finally, the buyer ought to confirm that the items removed from the driver’s view in 2017 have been fully re‑installed and that the engine oil level is within the proper range, while reviewing service records for any missed repairs related to the recurring suspension or tyre issues.
