2021 Audi A1 1.0L Petrol · DT70 CSZ

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-15 recorded front brake pads wearing thin on both sides and front brake discs that were worn but not excessively. These issues align with previous findings from 2025-01-23, where brake discs were pitted or scored but not seriously weakened, and brake pads were also wearing thin. The pattern suggests gradual brake component wear, though no critical failures were noted. A 2024-01-25 MOT highlighted tyre-related advisories, including a front tyre near the legal limit and rear tyres showing cracks or perishing. These were addressed by 2026, but the 2024 issues indicate potential neglect or uneven wear, possibly linked to alignment, inflation, or driving habits. No recurring tyre problems were reported in later MOTs. The vehicle’s mileage of 43,243 miles over five years equates to roughly 8,649 miles annually, which is typical for its age. This suggests average usage rather than heavy wear or prolonged inactivity. However, the absence of significant mileage spikes or drops means the wear patterns observed (e.g., brakes, tyres) are likely tied to normal operation rather than extreme conditions. The trend in safety-critical areas shows stable but ongoing brake wear, with no evidence of worsening beyond standard depreciation.
