2011 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · LS61 TKZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed the most recent test in July 2025 at 65,681 miles, it had failed just one mile prior due to multiple mechanical and safety defects. The appearance of pitted front brake discs and deteriorating rubber on the tyres indicates that the owner has neglected basic consumable replacements until they reached failure thresholds, marking a departure from the clean records seen in the previous years. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 65,681 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between 2022 and 2024, where the car covered roughly 2,000 miles annually without any defects. However, the low mileage appears to be contributing to age-related degradation of rubber components. The heavy cracking and perishing noted on the rear tyres in 2025 suggest that the rubber has dried out due to age, despite having significant tread depth remaining. A buyer must inspect the condition of all four tyres, as the history shows recurring issues with the nearside and offside rear rubber across multiple tests. The front brake discs were flagged as worn and pitted in 2024 and 2025, suggesting the vehicle may suffer from corrosion during long periods of inactivity. The persistent service light that has remained on the dashboard since at least 2024 indicates that scheduled maintenance intervals have been ignored, which necessitates a thorough check of fluid levels and oil health to ensure the low-mileage status has not masked internal neglect.
