2012 Audi A1 1.2L Petrol · DG12 FPF

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is rated as unfavourable , as the most recent test in the September 2023 test at 85,619 miles was a FAILED MOT. This indicates that the vehicle's mechanical condition has deteriorated significantly since the 2025 inspection, suggesting an ongoing trend of worsening maintenance rather than a stable or improving pattern. The test results from July 2024 and July 2023 both show a rapid accumulation of miles over a short period, with the 2024 test occurring just 30 days after the 2023 test. This gap of 30 days is notable for a vehicle that is approximately 14 years old; while the 2023 test at 85,619 miles was still passing, the subsequent rapid mileage increase in the 2024 and 2025 tests raises concerns about whether the vehicle has maintained its mechanical health or if the accumulated wear is due to a lack of regular servicing. Given the recurring faults, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical risks. The history reveals critical issues such as near-side and offside coil springs corroded, rear exhaust silencers badly corroded, and structural damage to the rear inner tyres where ply or cords have been exposed. These findings indicate that the vehicle is likely to fail a UK roadworthiness test if not addressed immediately, as the corrosion and wear on these components suggest a lack of adequate maintenance and potential exposure to environmental factors.
