2021 Audi A1 1.0L Petrol · DX21 XRW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent failure to address recurring component wear. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 38,311 miles passed, the tester again flagged pitting and scoring on both rear brake discs. This issue mirrors the advisory from the April 2025 test at 31,709 miles, indicating that the previous owner has deferred replacing these components despite repeated official warnings. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between the April 2024 test at 23,798 miles and the April 2025 test at 31,709 miles, the car covered 7,911 miles. This steady usage suggests typical urban or suburban driving, which often accelerates surface corrosion and leads to the wear seen on brake hardware noted in the records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear braking system prior to purchase. The recurring pitting on the discs suggests the car may sit stationary for long periods or is driven in environments conducive to moisture, leading to surface oxidation. The history also shows a pattern of neglecting tyres, with multiple entries for tread reaching the 3mm legal limit in 2024 and 2025. You should verify the current depth of all four tyres and check for uneven wear that might indicate alignment issues or suspension bushing fatigue.
