2011 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · FT11 AEF

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and high standard of maintenance. The most recent test on 17 January 2026 at 85,648 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back several years, suggesting the car has been kept in a roadworthy condition without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 5,710 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between May 2023 and April 2024, where the odometer rose from 47,635 to 63,952 miles. Since then, the accumulation has remained steady, reaching 85,648 miles by January 2026. The absence of any recorded defects during this period of higher usage suggests the drivetrain and chassis have handled the increased load without issue. A single failure on 15 May 2023 at 47,635 miles was resolved on the same day, though the record does not specify the fault. Given the total lack of advisories across the last four tests, there are no chronic issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion flagged by the testers. The vehicle appears to have avoided the typical wear-and-tear pitfalls associated with fifteen-year-old cars. A physical inspection should focus on components that the MOT does not always exhaustively test. Check for perished rubber seals or tyre cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation rather than wear. Verify the service history for oil and filter changes to ensure the engine has been maintained despite the low annual mileage. Inspect the brake calipers for seizing, which can occur when a vehicle spends long periods stationary.
