2014 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · KV14 XOD

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 9 July 2026 at 48,390 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of recent instability, evidenced by a failure just nine days prior on 30 June 2026. That failure identified a defective nearside front side repeater and a tyre with a cut reaching the cords, indicating a lapse in basic consumable upkeep. While the most recent test passed, the tester could not fully inspect the adult rear belt due to a child seat being fitted, which represents an incomplete inspection of safety equipment. The mileage profile suggests very light usage for a 2014 model, averaging approximately 4,032 miles per year. The record shows a steady, low-speed accumulation of miles, moving from 25,254 miles in September 2020 to 48,390 miles in July 2026. This low annual mileage often correlates with vehicles that spend significant time stationary, which can lead to specific maintenance issues such as component degradation or surface corrosion. The braking system shows a recurring pattern of wear. The tester flagged pitted or scored brake discs across all four corners in the September 2023 test at 38,462 miles, and similar issues reappeared in the May 2025 test at 43,269 miles. This suggests that while the discs are being replaced or serviced, they may be subject to surface corrosion during periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the current condition of the brake discs and calipers to ensure they are not excessively pitted or binding. Suspension and tyre management also require scrutiny. The May 2025 test noted a corroded offside rear coil spring, a component that can fail suddenly if left unaddressed. Given the recent failure regarding a tyre with a structural cut in June 2026, a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres for sidewall damage and tread depth is necessary. The history of worn tyres in 2020 and 2022 suggests that while the vehicle is driven infrequently, the owner should be checked for consistent attention to essential consumables.
