2015 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · GF15 JHA

The 2026‑07‑06 MOT at 76,418 miles confirms the 2015 Audi A1 remains roadworthy, though the tester flagged rear registration plate deterioration and both rear brake discs corroded, reducing braking surface area. Earlier tests showed no defects, but the 2025 record revealed perished rear bushes, cracked front lower arm rear bushes, worn tyres and disc wear, and the 2026 result shows continued corrosion, indicating a worsening maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 24,478 miles in May 2018 to 76,418 miles in July 2026, a gain of roughly 5,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an 11‑year‑old vehicle. The interval between the 2024 test at 62,359 miles and the 2025 test at 71,604 miles represents a notable jump of over 9,000 miles, suggesting the car has been driven more intensively in the past year, while earlier years showed a steadier increase. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear brake discs for pitting and replace them if the corrosion compromises the friction surface, verify that the rear registration plate is securely mounted and legible, and examine the rear suspension bushes and front lower arm rear bushes for cracking or perishing, as these components have repeatedly failed. Front tyre wear near the legal limit and edge wear on both front tyres demand immediate replacement and a check of the wheel alignment, while the inner face of the front discs shows wear and corrosion that warrants a close visual inspection. Any signs of structural rust around the rear plate area or binding brake calipers should also be assessed before purchase. Overall, the vehicle passes the current MOT but carries recurring mechanical concerns that could affect safety and longevity; a thorough in‑person inspection focusing on the identified suspension, brake, and tyre issues is essential for an informed purchase decision.
