2020 Audi A1 1.0L Petrol · MJ20 LVP

This 2020 Audi A1 has a clean MOT record with three passes, but the most recent test in June 2025 at 22,305 miles flags a clear pattern of tyre deterioration. Three tyres were noted as slightly damaged, cracked, or perishing, and the offside front was also worn close to the legal limit. A previous test in 2023 had a nail in a tyre, so rubber condition is a recurring concern. The overall condition trend is stable to slightly worsening. The 2024 MOT was defect-free, but the 2025 test shows a deterioration in tyre condition, likely due to age and low usage rather than heavy mileage. No structural or mechanical failures have appeared, so the core vehicle appears sound if the tyres are addressed. The car is six years old with just over 22,000 miles, averaging under 4,000 miles per year. This is low for its age and suggests light use, possibly short trips or periods of standing. While low mileage often means less wear on the engine and transmission, it can cause problems like tyre perishing (already evident), brake disc corrosion, and battery discharge from inactivity. The mileage itself is not a red flag, but it does shift the risk from wear-and-tear to age-related and storage-related issues.
