2016 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · AF16 JXK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 58,317 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows marked improvement following a significant failure in early 2025. Since that failure, the owner has clearly addressed critical mechanical and safety issues, resulting in two consecutive clean passes that suggest the vehicle is currently maintained to required operational standards. At 58,317 miles over ten years, this Audi has covered a relatively low distance, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a gap of roughly 4,000 miles between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 4,000 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. This low mileage profile generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from the degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion if the car sits stationary. The failure on 19 March 2025 highlights a period of neglected maintenance regarding basic consumable items. The tester flagged pitted rear brake discs, thin pads, and excessive fluctuations in both rear calipers, alongside critical front tyre failures. The exposed cords on the offside front tyre specifically indicate a previous alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. While these were rectified to pass the subsequent tests, a buyer should inspect the current front tyres for uneven wear and check the rear brake assembly for signs of recurring binding or surface corrosion to ensure the repairs were thorough.
