2017 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · CP17 OMY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on September 16, 2025, 85,379 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. A failure just six days prior to that test at 85,373 miles highlighted critical tyre defects, including a tyre below the legal limit and exposed cords on the offside front. While the car passed the subsequent test, the pattern suggests the previous owner ignored essential safety consumables until they reached a failure point. The mileage progression is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between the August 2022 test at 51,898 miles and the September 2024 test at 76,774 miles, the car covered over 24,000 miles, indicating steady use during that period. There are no significant gaps in the testing that would suggest long periods ofo, which often causes seal degradation, but the recurring advisories for tyres and brakes indicate that wear-and-tear items are not being monitored effectively by the operator. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The record from 2023 flagged thin brake pads and pitted or scored discs on the rear axle, while recurring tyre wear on the edges noted in 2022, 2024, and 2025 often points to worn suspension bushes or incorrect wheel alignment. Inspect the inner tyres for damage and check the control arms for play to ensure that the uneven wear noted in the MOT history is not caused by a deeper mechanical failure in the steering assembly.
