2015 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · Y18 FLH

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a successful MOT test in November 2025 at 73,280 miles. This pass followed a significant failure just one mile prior, where the car was flagged for a fractured offside front coil spring and multiple tyre defects. While the most recent record shows no defects, the history indicates a reactive maintenance pattern rather than proactive upkeep. The trend remains stable in terms of passing the test, but the owner appears to address mechanical faults only after they fail an annual inspection. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, moving from 22,865 miles in 2018 to 73,280 miles in late 2025. This low annual usage suggests the car has not been subjected to high stress environments, which generally preserves drivetrain components. However, the long intervals between tests can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber-based components or surface corrosion, as was seen in the earlier records. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, given the 2022 failure regarding a nearside front suspension arm bush and the 2025 fractured coil spring. The brake system also warrants scrutiny; the November 2021 test noted surface pitting and scoring across all four discs, suggesting the vehicle may sit for long periods or be neglected. Additionally, the 2019 mention of sill covers and the 2021 report of rear silencer casing corrosion require a thorough check of the underbody to ensure structural integrity has not progressed beyond what the protective covers can hide.
