2014 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · 1010 CP

The vehicle maintains a generally stable roadworthiness record, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 April 2026 at 62,600 miles. While the car successfully passed, the presence of a corroded offside front coil spring and an unevenly worn tyre indicates that maintenance standards have slightly slipped compared to the clean pass recorded in April 2025. These advisories represent a shift from the previous year of trouble-free operation and suggest that the suspension and wheel alignment require immediate professional attention to prevent further deterioration or failure. The recorded mileage of 62,600 miles over a twelve-year period averages approximately 5,200 miles per annum, which is notably low for an Audi A1. The accumulation of miles remains consistent across the provided four-year history, with a steady increase of roughly 2,500 to 5,000 miles between annual tests. This suggests the vehicle has been used for short, regular journeys rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which typically helps avoid the common mechanical issues associated with long-term storage, such as seized brake components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension components, specifically checking the offside coil spring for structural integrity and signs of advanced corrosion. The recurring advisories regarding tyre wear on the front axle suggest a potential issue with wheel alignment or tracking that has not been fully rectified by previous owners. You should also inspect the inner and outer sidewalls of all tyres for signs of cracking or perishing, as the history indicates a pattern of neglect regarding tyre condition. Ensuring these items are addressed will be essential to maintaining the vehicle’s reliability and handling characteristics moving forward.
