2015 Audi A1 2.0L Petrol · CK02 STY

The 2015 Audi A1 presents a stable but watchful maintenance picture. The most recent MOT, conducted on 26 July 2025 at 66,075 miles, passed with a single advisory for a worn offside front lower suspension arm rear bush. This is a minor wear item, not yet causing excessive movement, but it signals the car has entered a phase where front-end components are beginning to fatigue. The overall trend is neither sharply worsening nor fully resolving. Brake and tyre advisories that appeared in 2022 and 2023 have not recurred in the last two tests, suggesting those consumables were replaced. The suspension advisory in 2025 is new, indicating a fresh wear point rather than a neglected legacy fault. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable for an 11-year-old car. From 42,109 miles in August 2021 to 66,075 miles in July 2025, the car covered roughly 24,000 miles in just under four years, averaging close to 6,000 miles annually. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the record. The MOT entries sit at roughly yearly intervals, which is typical for a car of this age and use pattern. The data is clean and complete, with no missing years or out-of-sequence readings. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The recurring brake disc wear advisories in 2022 and 2023, covering both front and rear axles, point to a driving style or environment that is hard on braking components. Even though those advisories cleared in 2024 and 2025, the condition of the current discs and pads should be checked for uneven wear, lipping, or heat damage. The 2025 advisory for the offside front lower arm rear bush is the most telling recent finding. A worn bush here can cause vague steering, uneven tyre wear, and knocks over bumps. The front tyres should be examined for inner-edge wear, and the rear tyres checked for cracking or perishing, as both appeared as advisories in previous years. The subframe and suspension mounting points should be inspected for corrosion, particularly if the car has spent time in a region that uses road salt.
