2012 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · MB04 ABB

The vehicle presents as a roadworthy example with a highly stable maintenance trend trend. The most recent inspection conducted in March 2026 at 89,984 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum legal safety standards. While a failure occurred in July 2025, the immediate re-test success on the same day suggests the owner addressed the identified faults promptly rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage pattern is consistent and predictable for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. This aligns well with typical UK expectations for a light-use car. The data shows regular annual intervals between tests, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between July 2024 and July 2025, and another 2,300 miles between July 2025 and March 2026. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from the component degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. Since the MOT history shows no recurring structural failures or persistent mechanical defects, a physical inspection should focus on age-related wear rather than documented neglect. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and control arm mounts, which can perish over fourteen years regardless of low mileage. Given the vehicle's age, inspecting the brake discs for surface corrosion and checking the underside for developing structural rust on the sills is also prudent, as these are common areas of concern for the Audi A1 platform at this stage.
