2017 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · DK67 XTZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline regarding consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 18,716 miles passed, the tester flagged perishing and slight damage on both rear tyres. This follows a previous failure in September 2024 at 16,398 miles where both front tyres were noted as being near the legal limit with edge cracking. Despite these recurring tyre issues, the mechanical and structural integrity of the vehicle has remained stable across all testing intervals. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,080 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-frequency usage, with only 2,318 miles covered between the August 2024 and August 2025 tests. This usage pattern suggests the car spends long periods stationary, which typically results in minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension bushings. However, the periods of inactivity associated with such low mileage often contribute to the chemical degradation of rubber-based components, as seen in the recent tyre advisories. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of all tyres, as the history of cracking and perishing indicates the rubber is aging out of use rather than wearing out. Given the low mileage, it is essential to check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which frequently occurs when vehicles are not driven regularly. The inspector should also verify the absence of fluid leaks from the engine or seals, as the lack of defects between 2021 and 2023 contrasts with the neglect shown in the newer records.
