2019 Audi A1 1.5L Petrol · GA12 ADA

The vehicle holds a current roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass on July 30, 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the latest test identified only a minor defect regarding a deteriorated offside front track rod end ball joint dust cover. This followed two years of clean records in 2023 and 2024 where no defects or advisories were noted, indicating that mechanical and structural issues remained dormant during that period. At 33,605 miles over seven years, the car has covered a relatively low annual distance, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. This low usage pattern correlates with the issues observed in July 2022, where the vehicle failed for a high headlamp aim and received advisories for four tyres showing signs of perishing. Such degradation is common in vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods, as rubber compounds can dry out over time rather than wearing down from road use. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of all tyres to ensure the perishing noted in 2022 has been addressed with fresh rubber. The presence of the damaged track rod end ball joint dust cover flagged in 2025 requires a close look to ensure the joint itself has not become compromised by grit, which could lead to steering play. Given the low mileage, an inspection of the brake discs should check for surface corrosion or pitting, as these components often suffer when a vehicle is not used frequently. Buying score: 72 Risk level: Low.
