2015 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · BY05 AMB

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-13 shows a PASS for the 2015 Audi A1 with 110,858 miles, but a FAILED entry on the same date records a nearside front inner tyre with ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii)). This defect suggests potential safety risks, as tyre integrity is critical for braking and handling. The same MOT date includes both outcomes, indicating a possible administrative error or dual testing, but the tyre issue remains a priority. Earlier MOTs reveal a pattern of non-structural but recurring mechanical concerns . In 2025-01-08, a damaged central front windscreen (3.2 (a) (i)) and excessively worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint (5.3.4 (a) (i)) were recorded. By 2023-12-20, front brake pads wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)) and a pitted nearside rear brake disc (1.1.14 (a) (ii)) were noted, alongside low offside rear tyre pressure. These issues suggest gradual wear on tyres, brakes, and suspension components, but no major structural or safety-critical defects. The vehicle’s mileage of 110,858 miles (11 years old) aligns with an average of ~10,078 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This implies moderate use rather than heavy wear, though higher mileage could accelerate component degradation. However, the MOT history does not show a clear trend of worsening conditions—defects have been addressed or remain non-critical.
