2017 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · D504 PAM

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-21 recorded a pass with advisories for wear on both front suspension arm pins or bushes, which did not cause excessive movement. This suggests minor, non-critical wear but highlights ongoing maintenance needs. The vehicle’s low mileage of 18,733 miles (about 2,081 miles per year) indicates lighter use or potential periods of inactivity, which can lead to uneven component degradation. Recurring issues include tyre wear and damage , with multiple entries noting tyres close to legal limits or showing cracks. The 2024-08-21 MOT included a failed test for nearside rear service brake binding, a safety-critical defect requiring immediate attention. This defect, combined with repeated tyre-related advisories, points to a pattern of component wear and potential neglect . The trend shows mixed results: while the 2025 MOT was a pass, earlier entries reveal defects (brake binding, windscreen washer failure) and wear (tyres, suspension). The 2023 MOT had a failed test for a non-safety-related issue, suggesting sporadic maintenance. Overall, the condition appears stable in recent years but with unresolved risks from prior defects. Low mileage may reduce wear on high-mileage components but does not eliminate risks from inactivity or uneven usage.
