2012 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · BF62 XOA

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness condition, having passed its most recent test on January 28, 2026, at 95,524 miles with no defects recorded. This reflects an improvement over the previous year where several mechanical wear items required attention to maintain compliance. While the history shows recurring issues with consumable components, the lack of advisories in the most recent inspection suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults flagged by the tester. At 14 years old, the mileage of 95,524 miles represents a consistent usage of approximately 6,800 miles per annum, which is typical for a city car. There is a notable gap in records between December 2020 and January 2022, where the vehicle covered only 1,357 miles. Since then, the usage has increased significantly, covering over 31,000 miles between late 2022 and early 2026. This recent surge in mileage likely accelerated the wear on the suspension and braking system compared to the earlier, years. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension, as the record shows a persistent trend of anti-roll bar linkage ball joint failures noted in 2018, 2022, and 2022. Although these were repaired, the repeated deterioration of dust covers suggests the rubber components in this area may be prone to premature. The braking system also warrants a close look for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, given that the February 2025 test flagged thin rear brake pads and an offside rear tyre wearing on the inner edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes.
