2015 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · FM61 SHA

The 2015 Audi A1 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all four MOT tests from 2022 to 2025 passing without defects. The most recent April 2025 test at 49,803 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with the consistent pattern of prior passes. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting UK legal requirements. The absence of advisories or critical failures indicates the car has not experienced significant wear or neglect in the tested period. Mileage progression shows regular usage, with annual increments between 3,453 and 4,894 miles. The 49,803-mile reading in 2025 reflects an average of 4,528 miles per year, lower than typical for an 11-year-old vehicle. This could imply reduced driving frequency or periods of inactivity, which may affect components like suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust systems. However, the MOT history lacks evidence of corrosion, binding mechanisms, or emission failures, mitigating immediate concerns. The sparse record of passes does not reveal gaps in testing, but the long interval between 2022 and 2023 (12 months) warrants attention to potential undetected issues. A physical inspection should prioritise the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can lead to stiffness or dry rot. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, particularly if the car has been stationary for extended periods. The exhaust system and underbody should also be examined for rust, as older vehicles in low-use scenarios are prone to this. While the MOT data shows no immediate risks, these areas require verification to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond recorded tests.
