2011 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · FV11 BYF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean mechanical record following a brief early failure. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 June 2025 at 122,279 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a streak of three clean passes since 2023, suggesting that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a standard that avoids recurring MOT test failures. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,150 miles per annum. Between January 2022 and June 2025, the car covered 17,681 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 5,900 miles per year. The gap between the January 2022 test and the March 2023 test shows a slight increase in activity with 5,918 miles, which aligns with typical commuting use. This consistent interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from prolonged neglect or accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to age-related degradation despite the clean MOT history. Because the car has over 122,000 miles, the rubber-mounted suspension bushes and control arms should be checked for cracking or tearing. Given the failure in January 2022 at 104,598 miles, it is prudent to verify that the specific cause of that failure was rectified and that the issue has not resurfaced. Inspecting the brake discs for corrosion and checking the underside for structural rust bloom is also essential, as these are the most common points of failure on an Audi chassis of this age.
