2021 Audi A1 Technik 25 Tfsi 1.0L Petrol · CU21 TXC

The Audi A1 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 27 February 2026 at 45,169 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable across the recorded history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The only blemish is administrative rather than mechanical: the car failed on 26 February 2026 at 45,122 miles and again on 28 February 2025 at 35,616 miles, yet on both occasions the tester logged no defects, indicating documentation or presentation issues at the testing station rather than component failure. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a five-year-old vehicle. The record shows 24,589 miles at the 20 February 2024 test, rising to 35,618 miles by 28 February 2025 and 45,169 miles by 27 February 2026. That equates to roughly 10,000 miles per year, marginally above the 9,034-mile average implied by the odometer, with no abrupt jumps or prolonged dormant periods suggesting standing damage or clutch and turbo strain from irregular use. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, the previous owner appears to have maintained the vehicle to a standard sufficient for clean passes. The repeated no-defect failures point to minor administrative friction rather than neglected consumables such as tyre tread or wiper blades. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm component life remaining on items like binding calipers or exhaust emissions systems. Verify service history against the 10,000-mile annual intervals and confirm the reason for the two failed presentations at the 2025 and 2026 February tests with the selling garage before completion.
