2012 Audi A1 1.2L Petrol · LR62 ABK

The vehicle is currently not in a verifiable roadworthy state as the last MOT record dates back to December 2021. The maintenance trend shows a decline in care toward the end of the recorded history. While the car passed on 29 December 2021 at 113,720 miles, this followed a failure for a defective passenger door handle. The preceding tests indicate a pattern of neglecting basic consumables, specifically tyres and lighting. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle age, averaging roughly 8,123 miles per year. There is a significant gap in the record between May 2019 at 69,902 miles and December 2020 at 89,276 miles, during which the car covered nearly 20,000 miles. This period of increased use coincides with a severe failure in December 2020, where the tester flagged multiple tyres with exposed ply or cords and worn anti-roll bar linkage dust covers. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The December 2020 failure highlighted degraded anti-roll bar linkage ball joint covers, and the September 2016 test noted pitted or scored front brake discs. Given the age and the history of ignoring tyre wear until it reached dangerous levels, the current condition of all four tyres and the brake pads should be verified immediately. The exhaust system requires a close look. The tester flagged a deteriorating rear exhaust in both December 2020 and January 2021. Because the records end in 2021, there is no evidence that this was ever fully rectified or that the vehicle has been maintained for the last four and a half years. Any prolonged period of standing will likely have exacerbated corrosion and degraded the battery and rubber components.
