2017 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · EG17 HPK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in July 2025 at 70,313 miles flagged a pitted offside rear brake disc and a nail in the tyre. While the car passed, the recurring appearance of tyre-related defects across multiple years suggests the owner frequently addresses faults only when they reach an MOT threshold or cause immediate concern, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 70,313 miles over nine years, the Audi follows a consistent usage pattern of approximately 7,800 miles per annum, which is typical for an urban vehicle. The data shows steady progression between tests, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 6,000 miles between 2024 and 2025. This stable mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of seals and rubber components. A buyer must inspect the wheel alignment and suspension geometry, as the 2023 record noted uneven wear on the inner edges of the front tyres and an out-of-shape offside rear tyre. These issues often indicate worn bushes or incorrect tracking that may remain unaddressed. Additionally, the fluctuating service brakes noted in 2024 at 64,321 miles suggest potentially warped discs or sticking calipers, which should be checked for even wear to ensure consistent braking performance. The persistent tyre pressure monitoring system warning lamp recorded in 2023 should be verified to ensure the sensor or wiring fault was actually rectified. Given the history of multiple cuts, nails, and perishing rubber, a thorough inspection of the current set of tyres is essential to ensure no hidden sidewall damage. The previous windscreen damage noted in 2023 and 2024 should also be checked for cracks that may have developed since the last inspection.
