2012 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · MF12 YLH

The 2025‑10‑22 MOT at 76,789 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable condition. The earlier failure on the same day, which also listed no defects, does not alter this assessment, as the most recent test supersedes prior results. The mileage pattern is modest for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 5,500 miles per year. From the March 2023 test at 62,675 miles to the October 2025 test at 76,789 miles, the vehicle accumulated about 14,114 miles over 2.5 years, a steady rise that aligns with the overall annual average and suggests consistent use rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, verify that the rear calipers move freely and that brake discs show no scoring or corrosion, and examine the exhaust system and chassis sills for any hidden rust that might not have been captured in the MOT. Tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition are also relevant, but the primary focus should be on mechanical components that could develop issues despite a clean record. Given the absence of recorded defects and the low, steady mileage, the car appears well‑maintained; however, a physical inspection confirming the condition of the suspension, braking system and any concealed corrosion is essential before purchase.
