2016 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · DA07 DAG

The vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 6 May 2025 at 58,029 miles resulting in a clear pass. This record demonstrates a consistent trend of compliance, as the car has successfully cleared its last three annual inspections without a single recorded advisory or failure. The absence of recurring mechanical defects suggests that the vehicle has been subjected to diligent maintenance and responsible ownership over the past three years. Accumulating 58,029 miles over a ten-year period equates to an average of approximately 5,800 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average. The data indicates a steady usage pattern, though the brief interval between the failed test on 7 October 2022 and the subsequent pass four days later suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue that was resolved immediately. There are no concerning gaps in the testing history, and the mileage progression remains logical and linear, indicating the vehicle has likely been used for regular, short-distance journeys rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that typically degrade through age rather than high-mileage wear. Given the low annual usage, check the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as these often develop when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to clear oxidation. Inspect the suspension bushes and rubber gaiters for signs of perishing, as these materials harden and crack over a decade even if the car has covered limited ground. While the MOT history is exemplary, a thorough check of the service book remains necessary to confirm that the engine oil and timing belt have been replaced in accordance with Audi’s time-based maintenance schedule.
