2012 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · WN12 ABV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-09-30 at 121,674 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this followed a failure on 2024-09-26 at 121,673 miles, also with no defects. This unusual pattern suggests either a procedural error or an anomaly in the testing process. Prior tests from 2022 and 2023 showed consistent passes with no recorded issues, indicating a stable maintenance history up to that point. The lack of defects in all tests implies no critical mechanical or structural failures, though the recent back-to-back results warrant scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 121,674 miles over 14 years equates to approximately 8,691 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT records show regular testing, with intervals of six to 12 months between assessments. The most significant mileage jump occurred between 2022-03-30 (90,736 miles) and 2022-10-13 (95,834 miles), reflecting a 5,098-mile increase over seven months, which is reasonable. Subsequent tests in 2023 and 2024 maintained consistent intervals, suggesting no prolonged periods of inactivity or excessive wear. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension system, particularly bushes and coil springs, as these components often degrade over time without immediate warning. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records is positive, but a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers is advisable to confirm no hidden corrosion or wear. The exhaust system should also be checked for rust, as older vehicles are prone to corrosion in this area. No structural integrity issues were flagged, but a thorough undercarriage examination is recommended to identify any long-term damage or fatigue.
