2016 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · CX16 DVT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of emerging wear in suspension and tyres. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 86,286 miles passed, the tester identified a worn nearside front suspension arm bush and a perished nearside rear tyre. This indicates a shift from the clean record seen in 2024, suggesting that the vehicle is beginning to require attention for aging rubber components and consumables as it ages. At 86,286 miles over ten years, the car averages approximately 8,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK annual mileage for a small hatchback. The records show consistent usage patterns, with roughly 9,200 miles driven between the July 2024 and 2025 tests, and over 8,600 miles in the year preceding 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of seals and fluid systems. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the nearside arm bush flagged in the 2025 test has been replaced or is not showing further cracking. The history of tyre-related issues, including a failure in 2023 for a worn offside rear tyre and the 2025 advisory for a perished nearside rear, warrants a check for uneven wear patterns across the entire set. Additionally, verify the washer system is fully functional, as this previously caused a failure in 2023.
