2016 Audi A1 1.0L Petrol · CX66 NWM

The Audi A1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 79,227 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 1 August 2024 at 65,249 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two examinations without advisory or failure entries. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,900 miles, typical for a 2016 hatchback. The records show 57,616 miles in August 2023, 65,249 miles by August 2024, and 79,227 miles by July 2025, equating to about 7,600 and 14,000 miles covered in the respective twelve-month spans. The jump in the later year is moderate and not indicative of neglected high-use abuse. Two failed tests appear on 22 August 2023 and 31 July 2024, both at identical mileages to the same-day passes that followed, which suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defects, since the DVSA data lists no faults on either failure. Given the absence of recorded advisories across the full history, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not always captured at test: brake disc thickness, suspension bushes, and coil spring condition. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept the car to a basic pass standard, but no evidence exists of proactive upkeep beyond statutory requirement. A physical check beneath the sills and subframe for corrosion remains sensible on a ten-year-old vehicle, as the MOT system only logs structural integrity faults once they breach test limits. The sparse record gives no warning of worsening mechanical risk, yet a pre-purchase examination of tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions is advised before completion.
