AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Audi A1 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 4 September 2025 at 90,905 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared its final test with no defects logged, though it had failed two days earlier on 2 September 2025 at the same mileage with no defects recorded, a pattern repeated at the 2024 cycle. Mileage sat at 74,730 miles for the August 2023 pass, rose to 82,864 by the August 2024 tests, and reached 90,905 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 8,100 miles added per year, marginally below the 10,101 annual average for a nine year old car. The record is sparse and clean, showing no advisories or mechanical faults across any entry, which limits insight into wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion. The twin fail-pass pairs in 2024 and 2025 at identical mileages with no defects cited suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than recurring mechanical faults. Previous owners appear to have kept the car to a standard that avoided flagged wear on consumables and structural items, though a clean sheet offers no evidence of proactive upkeep on coil springs or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity, suspension components, and binding calipers given the record supplies no advisory baseline. Confirm the reason for the two anomaly failures and verify service history, as the MOT alone shows no worn tyres, wiper blades, or rust yet cannot confirm their condition.
