2017 Audi A1 1.0L Petrol · AL52 ABS

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in March 2026 at 41,356 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car remains in a good mechanical state. This follows a period of clean passes in the preceding years, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that meets all current DVSA safety and emissions requirements. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Data shows a significant jump in usage between February 2023 at 19,156 miles and February 2024 at 29,668 miles, where the car covered over 10,000 miles in a single year. However, usage has since slowed down again, with only 11,688 recorded over the final two years. This low-frequency usage pattern typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to flat-spotting on tyres or perished rubber seals if the vehicle has not been subjected to regular motorway runs. While the history is largely clean, the failure recorded on February 28, 2024 at 29,668 miles warrants a brief mention despite the immediate pass on the same day. Since the vehicle has passed two subsequent tests without further advisories, the issue was clearly rectified. A buyer should still physically inspect the brake discs for signs of corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage cars that sit stationary often develop rust. Given the age, checking the condition of the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls is advisable to ensure rubber components have not degraded due to age despite the low mechanical wear.
