2014 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · GD14 EMV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 February 2026 at 81,757 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is essentially stable; after a routine pass in February 2025 at 77,732 miles, an isolated failure was logged the same day at 77,727 miles (no defects noted), followed by a clean pass in February 2026. The brief setback does not indicate a developing fault, and the subsequent test shows no new issues. Mileage accumulation over the past three years averages roughly 3,300 miles annually, which is modest for a 12‑year‑old Audi A1. The gap between the February 2024 test (74,610 miles) and February 2025 (77,732 miles) added 3,122 miles, while the year to February 2026 added 4,025 miles. This pattern suggests lighter than average usage compared with the typical 6,800 miles per year benchmark, and the MOT record is dense enough to show consistent monitoring without major mileage spikes. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check the brake calipers for binding and the discs for uneven wear, and examine the exhaust mounts for corrosion. Tyre tread depth and condition should be verified, as should the battery’s electrolyte level and the cooling‑system hoses for leaks. Given the vehicle’s age, a thorough visual scan for rust around wheel arches, sills and underbody is advisable, along with a check of the structural integrity of the rear panel and any signs of suspension component fatigue. These checks will confirm whether the clean MOT history reflects genuine mechanical health or merely the absence of defects at the time of testing.
