2015 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · GF15 CMX

The vehicle presents an inconsistent maintenance history characterized by a recurring pattern of failing due to basic consumable neglect. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 82,354 miles passed with only a minor windscreen defect, the preceding three years show a trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. Between 2021 and February 2024, the car failed multiple MOT tests for avoidable issues such as thin front brake pads, failing tyres, and defective wipers. This suggests that the previous owners frequently waited until the test deadline to address necessary repairs rather than adhering to a standard preventative service schedule. At 82,354 miles over 11 years, the car has covered an average of approximately 7,500 miles per year, which is typical for its age. However, the data reveals a persistent issue with front tyre wear. From 2021 through to the February 2025 advisories, the testers consistently flagged inner edge wear on both the nearside and offside front tyres. This specific pattern often indicates incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension components that have remained unaddressed. The failure in 2021 at 55,019 miles for a nearside rear tyre bulge further underscores a lack of attention to basic tyre condition and safety-critical rubber. The mechanical state of the vehicle appears focused on wear items. The brake pads were flagged as thin in 2022, 2023, and 2024, indicating they were likely replaced only after reaching critical limits. While no structural corrosion or major mechanical failures have been recorded in the history, the buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment settings given the recurring inner edge tyre wear. The current MOT is valid for six more months, providing a recent baseline for the vehicle's immediate roadworthiness.
