2016 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · AY66 YBF

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history leading up to the most recent inspection. The September 2025 test at 35,170 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. While the record shows a failed result on that same date, the immediate subsequent pass indicates that any identified issue was rectified promptly without recurring faults in subsequent checks. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 3,517 miles per year. The data shows a consistent and gradual increase in distance covered, moving from 20,375 miles in August 2022 to 30,508 miles in August 2024, and finally reaching 35,170 miles in September 2025. This steady progression suggests regular, short-distance usage rather than long periods of vehicle dormancy, which helps mitigate risks associated with perished rubber components or seized calipers. Because the MOT history is exceptionally clean and lacks advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, the vehicle appears well-maintained from a regulatory standpoint. However, the low annual mileage means the car has likely spent significant time in a stationary state. A physical inspection should focus on checking for signs of age-related degradation that MOT testing might miss, specifically looking for perished timing belts, perished tyre sidewalls, or fluid leaks from seals that may have dried out due to infrequent use.
