2017 Audi A1 1.0L Petrol · ET17 FFY

The vehicle currently maintains a good roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent test on 22 April 2026 at 60,969 miles. This result indicates that any previous mechanical or structural concerns have been addressed. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has moved from recorded defects in earlier years to a defect-free status in the latest inspection cycle. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage usage profile, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year over nine years. There is a notable gap in the records between September 2021 and January 2023, during which the car covered roughly 6,400 miles. However, since 2023, the usage has become more regular, covering over 15,000 miles in just three years. This consistent interval suggests the car is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing component degradation from long periods of standing. A buyer should pay close attention to the wheel condition, as the February 2025 test at 56,660 miles flagged both the nearside front and rear inner road wheels as buckled. While the vehicle passed the subsequent 2026 test, buckled wheels can cause vibrations or uneven tyre wear if not properly replaced or balanced. Additionally, the thin brake pads noted in January 2023 at 45,328 miles indicate that consumables are reaching their service limits. A physical inspection of the current pad thickness and disc condition is necessary to ensure they have been replaced since that advisory. Given the age of the vehicle, the suspension should also be checked for signs of perished bushes or leaks that may have developed during the recent 15,000-mile stretch.
