2012 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · FE62 SSV

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend and remains roadworthy according to the most recent DVSA record. The test on 14 April 2025 at 136,507 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2021, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,750 miles per year. The distance covered between the May 2021 test at 114,411 miles and the April 2025 test at 136,507 miles shows steady, predictable use. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. The absence of any advisories over the last five years is unusual for a car of this age and mileage. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these components typically wear after 130,000 miles regardless of MOT outcomes. Checking for underbody corrosion and brake disc thickness is also advisable to ensure the vehicle has been maintained beyond the minimum legal requirements. Given the lack of recurring faults, there are no specific mechanical red flags in the history. The priority for a physical inspection should be the condition of consumables and the drivetrain, ensuring the oil and coolant are clean. This record implies a disciplined previous owner who likely addressed wear items before they became MOT failures.
