2022 Audi A1 1.5L Petrol · CP71 FFV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift from basic consumable wear to mechanical component degradation. While the most recent test on 31 December 2025 passed at 54,114 miles, it introduced several advisories regarding the braking system and suspension. This suggests that while the car meets minimum safety standards, components are reaching the end of their optimal service life. The mileage profile is notably high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,500 miles per annum. Between the December 2024 test at 44,686 miles and the December 2025 test at 54,114 miles, the car covered nearly 9,500 miles. This consistent high-level usage explains the accelerated wear observed on tyres and braking components noted throughout the inspection history. A prospective buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and front-end suspension. Both the front and rear brake discs were flagged for being pitted and scored in the latestion, indicating they likely require replacement to ensure effective stopping. Additionally, the damage to the nearside front track rod end ball joint dust cover should be monitored closely or replaced to prevent major steering failure. Furthermore, the tyres must be checked for even wear, as the 2024ion showed them already approaching the legal limit and exhibiting edge wear. Given the high mileage and the nature of the advisories, a thorough suspension alignment check is recommended to ensure the track rod issue is not causing further tyre degradation.
