2014 Audi A1 Tfsi 1.2L Petrol · KW63 WSJ

The vehicle holds a current MOT PASS dated 2026‑02‑11 at 108 104 miles, though the tester flagged a minor exhaust gas leak at the middle joint (6.1.2 (a)). The preceding 2025‑02‑12 test recorded an exhaust back‑box deterioration and worn suspension arm pins/bushes (5.3.4 (a)(i)). The pattern shows the exhaust condition deteriorating rather than improving, while suspension wear persists without excessive movement. Brake disc wear remains stable across the record, indicating that braking component ageing is not accelerating. Overall the car is roadworthy but the maintenance trend points to a worsening exhaust and suspension state. Mileage accumulation has been steady at roughly 9 000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 12‑year‑old vehicle. The interval between the 2023‑01‑10 failure and the 2024‑01‑04 pass added 11 323 miles, and the jump to 2025‑02‑12 added 12 197 miles, suggesting periods of higher utilisation. The most recent increase to 108 104 miles in February 2026 is only 2 481 miles over a six‑month span, indicating a recent slowdown in mileage growth. The data set is relatively complete, with no significant gaps larger than twelve months. A prospective buyer should closely inspect the exhaust system for corroded joints, back‑box integrity and any leaks, as repeated advisories point to progressive deterioration. Suspension arm pins and bushes should be examined for wear, and coil springs checked for corrosion, especially at the rear where multiple tests noted rust. Brake discs and pads need verification; while disc wear is not excessive, earlier reports of pitting and thin pads suggest monitoring. Tyre condition warrants a visual check for cuts, sidewall damage and uneven wear, and wheels should be inspected for distortion. Finally, a thorough look for structural rust around the rear silencer and any chassis areas will reveal the extent of long‑term corrosion.
