2012 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · FH12 EDK

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition following a clean pass in its most recent test on 27 June 2025 at 59,982 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, indicating that the owner is responsive to mechanical faults as they arise. While the car failed the test just one mile prior due to a perished offside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover, the immediate rectification of this component resulted in a pass with no recorded defects for the remainder of the testing period. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 59,982 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,284 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with intervals of roughly 3,000 to 5,000 miles between the annual tests conducted between 2022 and 2025. This low-mileage profile suggests light use on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also increases the likelihood of age degradation in rubber-based parts and seals if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension for signs of wear on the anti-roll bar and ball joints, as the 2025 failure highlights this area as a point of potential vulnerability. The 2023 advisory regarding the offside rear tyre tread stepping out also indicates a previous alignment issue or uneven wear pattern that should be verified against the current state of the tyre set. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion and the brake lines is necessary to ensure that the low mileage has not masked environmental degradation of structural integrity.
