2016 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · DC16 UWS

The Audi A1 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 10 September 2025 at 78,747 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The September 2025 test followed a failed attempt on 9 September 2025 at identical mileage, though the failure carried no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly in September 2024 and September 2023, indicating no recurring advisories or worsening condition over the three-year span. The mileage pattern sits at a typical level for a 2016 vehicle, with 78,747 miles recorded against roughly ten years of use, equating to about 7,875 miles per year. The record shows 66,214 miles at the September 2023 test, rising to 72,860 by September 2024 and 78,747 by September 2025, a steady annual accumulation of around 6,000 to 6,500 miles with no abrupt jumps or standing periods. The data is sparse but clean, with no advisories logged on any pass and no defects listed on either failure, limiting scope for deeper wear analysis. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and structural corrosion points, as the MOT record offers no visibility of consumable or hidden wear between tests. The two same-day failure and pass pairs in September 2024 and September 2025, both with zero defects noted, point to clerical rejections rather than owner neglect, yet the absence of advisories means tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions were within limits but unmeasured for trend. Given the low annual mileage, rubber components and brake calipers may have seen light use, though physical checks remain warranted before purchase.
