2017 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · DE08 CAL

The vehicle remains MOT‑legal as of the 21 February 2026 test at 38,179 miles, but the record shows a progressive accumulation of advisory items. Front brake disc wear, fluctuating service brake response, and multiple tyre cuts and edge wear indicate a trend toward deteriorating braking and tyre condition, rather than a stabilising pattern. Mileage averages roughly 4,200 miles per year, well below the typical annual usage for a 2017 model. The odometer rose from 13,687 miles in January 2021 to 38,179 miles in February 2026, an increase of just over 24,000 miles in five years, confirming low overall wear. No abrupt spikes appear in the log; however, the low mileage combined with recurring tyre damage suggests periods of storage or infrequent rotation rather than heavy driving. A prospective buyer should verify the depth and uniformity of the front tyre tread, especially the off‑side tyre that was flagged as close to the legal limit. Inspect the front brake disc for scoring and measure disc thickness against the manufacturer’s minimum, and confirm that the service brake delivers consistent pedal feel without binding. Examine rear brake discs and pads for the thin wear noted in 2025, and test for any residual binding in the off‑side rear brake. A visual check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and wheel bearings is advisable, as no structural corrosion was recorded but the age of the car warrants a thorough assessment. Finally, ensure that under‑tray installations do not conceal any hidden damage to the chassis or exhaust system.
