2017 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · C2 MOE

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from perfect passes to reactive maintenance. In the February 2026 test at 55,384 miles, the tester flagged a nail in the offside rear tyre and noted rear brake pads were wearing thin. This marks a departure from the three clean passes recorded between 2022 and 2025, suggesting that the vehicle is now entering a phase where consumable components require attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,150 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 40,003 miles and February 2026 at 55,384 miles, the car covered roughly 15,000 miles over three years. This low accumulation generally preserves the longevity of the drivetrain and suspension components, though the gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests indicates a period of extended sitting which can sometimes lead to flat spots or minor corrosion on brake discs. A buyer should focus on the braking system during a physical inspection to address the thin pads noted in the 2026 record. While the history shows no structural defects or recurring mechanical failures, the brake discs should be checked for pitting or uneven wear given the low mileage and potential for long-term parking. Additionally, a thorough check of the tyres' rubber condition and tread depth is necessary as low-mileage cars often age out before the tread reaches the legal limit.
