2015 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · GR55 TER

A pattern of intermittent tyre and brake component advisories characterizes this vehicle's MOT history, though the most recent test on 05 November 2025 shows no recorded defects. While the record indicates several years of passing without failure, the 2023 inspection highlighted significant wear and perishing across multiple tyres, including both nearside and offside rear units. This trend of consumable wear, alongside a 2019 advisory regarding a pitted or scored offside rear brake disc, suggests that while the vehicle maintains a baseline of roadworthiness, it has historically required attention to its peripheral running components. The recorded mileage of 93,712 miles over an eleven-year period equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 8,519 miles. This usage profile is consistent with typical light-to-moderate driving patterns for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that while the engine and drivetrain have not been subjected to heavy long-distance motorway use, components such as suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and various rubber seals will have reached a stage where age-related degradation is a factor, regardless of the relatively low annual distance travelled. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and braking system during a physical inspection and test drive. Given the 2023 advisories regarding perishing and edge wear, check the sidewalls of all four tyres for any signs of cracking or bulging, and ensure the tread depth is well above the legal limit across the entire width of the tyre. On the road, listen for any rhythmic thumping or uneven road noise that could indicate irregular tyre wear, and monitor the brake pedal for any pulsations or judder when applying pressure at speed, which would relate to the disc condition noted in previous years. Further inspection should be directed towards the underside of the vehicle to ensure that any previous issues with brake disc surface integrity have been addressed. While no structural corrosion was flagged in the recent records, the history of tyre perishing can sometimes coincide with periods of vehicle inactivity. During the test drive, pay close attention to steering response and any pulling to one side, which would indicate whether the previous issues with edge wear or tyre condition have impacted the alignment or the integrity of the suspension components.
