2011 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · GU61 LLA

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 30 July 2025 at 144,202 miles, yet the maintenance trend indicates escalating wear on critical front-end components. The car failed the day prior due to excessively worn front lower suspension arm bushes and deteriorating tyres, suggesting the owner addressed these specific faults immediately to secure a pass. Despite this repair, the history shows a clear pattern of ageing consumables that requires close scrutiny. Usage remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,600 miles annually. The odometer progression from 127,749 miles in August 2022 to 144,202 miles by July 2025 confirms steady, regular use without significant periods of inactivity. This consistent mileage accumulation aligns with typical commuting patterns rather than sporadic storage. Prospective buyers must prioritise a physical inspection of the front braking system and suspension geometry. Testers have flagged front brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored since August 2023, indicating these components have remained in a degraded state for nearly two years. Furthermore, the progression of front lower suspension arm bushes from worn in 2023 to excessively worn by July 2025 points to deferred maintenance. Tyre condition also warrants verification, as cracking and perishing have appeared on multiple wheels across recent tests.
