2022 Audi A1 S Line Competition Tfsi S-A 2.0L Petrol · BW71 TUP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of inconsistent reactive repairs. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 29,769 miles passed, the tester flagged the offside front inner brake pads as wearing thin. This suggests that components are only addressed once they approach failure limits rather than being replaced during scheduled intervals. The progression from a significant emissions failure to a pass shows that major mechanical issues were temporarily resolved. At 29,769 miles over four years, the car has averaged approximately 7,442 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a small hatchback. The data shows a brief period in early 2025 where the vehicle was driven only 25 miles between a failure on January 3rd and a pass on January 21st. This short gap following the failure for high carbon monoxide levels at 26,822 miles indicates a potential engine combustion issue or sensor fault that required immediate rectification before the successful re-test. A buyer should physically inspect the front-end suspension and alignment, as the 2025 advisory noted an offside front tyre worn on the edge. This often points to incorrect tracking or worn suspension bushes rather than simple tyre wear. The braking system requires a thorough check to ensure the thin pads flagged in the latest test have not caused uneven scoring on the rotors. Given the previous emissions failure, monitoring the engine's performance under load is advisable to ensure the carbon monoxide issue was fully resolved and is not recurring due to a failing fuel system or oxygen sensor.
