2012 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · FW12 HRF

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is assessed as passing overall, though the maintenance history indicates a potential trend of worsening condition. The most recent test on 2023-12-01 was passed at 107,643 miles, confirming that the car is not currently in immediate danger of failure, but the record suggests that regular upkeep may have been compromised by the owner's lack of maintenance records. Mileage accumulation over the past decade suggests a pattern of rapid consumption rather than steady wear, with the 2021-2022 period showing a significant gap between the 2021-10-22 and 2022-12-01 tests. This gap indicates that the owner may have driven the vehicle frequently or had long periods of inactivity, which could accelerate the degradation of critical components like suspension arms and brake discs. A buyer should inspect the mechanical condition in person, specifically focusing on the rear brake discs and suspension bushings for binding, as well as checking the exhaust heat shield for looseness. Given the history of rear brake disc pitting and the absence of excessive movement in the suspension arms, the primary concern is whether these mechanical risks have been addressed since the last MOT, or if they continue to worsen as the vehicle ages.
