2011 Audi A1 1.2L Petrol · LX61 SHZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive passes in recent MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 24 June 2026 at 46,297 miles resulted in no recorded defects, maintaining a trend of clean passes over the last three years. While the history shows occasional failures related strictly to consumable items, the vehicle has consistently met the minimum safety standards without flagging any deeper mechanical or structural issues that require urgent intervention. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2011 registration, averaging only approximately 3,100 miles per annum. Between June 2015 and June 2026, the car covered just 15,840 miles, suggesting very light use or long periods of storage. While low mileage typically reduces wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber parts. The consistent annual intervals between tests indicate the car has been used regularly enough to remain operational rather than neglected for years. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on tyres and rubber components, as the record reveals a recurring pattern of sidewall damage and improper tyre fitting. Failures in 2016, 2019, and 2023 highlight issues with perishing, structural tears, and incorrect installation, which are common in low-use vehicles that sit stationary. Given the age of the car, check for cracking in the sidewalls and the condition of the suspension bushes and brake hoses. Since the MOT record shows no historical advisories for corrosion or brake binding, the structural integrity appears sound, but the low-mileage nature necessitates a close check that fluids have not degraded due to time.
