2015 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · CE15 WMX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 35,841 miles resulted in a pass, it followed an immediate failure for lighting issues and an offside front suspension arm ball joint. The pattern of failing on multiple items before passing in both 2025 and 2026 suggests that mechanical defects are only addressed once they reach a point of legal failure. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 35,841 miles is exceptionally low, averaging only about 3,258 miles per year. This low usage profile suggests light annual travel, which typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components. However, the data shows a significant jump of 6,700 miles between January 2024 and January 2025, followed by another 5,500 miles leading to the 2026 test. These bursts of activity interspersed with long periods of standing can lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals, which is reflected in the suspension records. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension assembly thoroughly, as the record shows recurring issues with the front suspension arm bushes and pins in 2025, followed by a ball joint with play in 2026. These faults indicate that rubber components may be perished or failing due to age and low use rather than high mileage. The 2025 failure also highlighted front tyres below the legal tread limit and rear tyres worn unevenly, suggesting a lack of basic consumable maintenance. Check for uneven tyre wear to ensure that alignment issues have not been caused by the flagged suspension faults.
