2011 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · FG61 TVE

The Audi A1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 May 2025 at 76,008 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 27 September 2024 at 75,367 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared successive annual examinations without outstanding advisories. The single failure on 26 September 2024 at 75,364 miles is anomalous; the record shows no defects listed and the car passed the following day, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation is low for a 2011 registered car. From 27 September 2022 at 72,648 miles to 20 September 2023 at 74,181 miles the car covered 1,533 miles, then 1,186 miles to 27 September 2024 at 75,367 miles, and only 641 miles to May 2025 at 76,008 miles. This equates to roughly 5,067 miles per year against the model's age and suggests extended periods of standing rather than daily use. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension bush, brake disc, or exhaust emission concerns ever raised across the five presented entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Low mileage combined with long idle spells accelerates perishables such as tyre sidewall cracking, degraded suspension bushes, and seized brake calipers that a static MOT bay test may not expose under load. Verify the 26 September 2024 failure reason with the test station, as the nil-defect entry is irregular and warrants confirmation it was not a withdrawn or duplicated certificate. Check underneath for structural integrity issues around subframes and sills where moisture ingress during storage causes hidden rust. Confirm service history matches the low annual use, since infrequent oil changes on a 1.2 or 1.4 TFSI unit risk sludge build-up regardless of recorded miles. The documented care pattern implies a cautious owner, but physical verification remains essential before purchase.
