2012 Audi A1 S Line TDI 1.6L Diesel · M29 DAJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, underpinned by a period of clean inspection results. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 104,108 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a sequence of successful passes in 2022, 2023, and 2024, suggesting a consistent level of basic mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-to-moderate profile, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Data shows a steady accumulation of distance, with 9,560 miles covered between July 2023 and November 2024, and another 7,460 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. The only anomaly is the failure in June 2022 at 80,197 miles, which occurred just eight days before a passing test at similar mileage. This suggests a minor, isolated issue that was rectified immediately rather than a chronic mechanical failure. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components prone to age-related degradation, despite the clean MOT history. Given the 14-year age of the vehicle, rubber components in the suspension bushes and control arms should be checked for signs of cracking or tearing. While the record does not flag recurring brake issues, a physical inspection of the discs for excessive pitting or caliper caliper corrosion is advisable. The chassis should be examined for structural rust, particularly around the sill points, to ensure the integrity of the frame remains sound as it moves into higher mileage brackets.
