2015 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · ML10 ANS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent test on 17 June 2025 at 78,702 miles. While the car passed, the maintenance trend shows a persistent issue with the front-end suspension. The failure in early June 2025 for a split CV boot and excessively worn nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes indicates that these components were only addressed after reaching a critical state, suggesting the owner waits for MOT-related failures rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,155 miles per year. There is a significant gap of nearly 9,400 miles between May 2023 and May 2024, followed by another 9,400-mile interval between May 2024 and June 2025. This suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which explains the gradual wear on rubber components like suspension bushes and CV boots seen in the recorded history over the four-year period. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The record shows that lower arm bushes have been flagged annually since 2023, indicating a recurring weak point on this vehicle. It is vital to verify that the nearside front CV boot identified in the June 2025 failure was replaced correctly and that no grease leakage or damage remains at the joint. Additionally, the history of tyres wearing to the legal limit in both 2022 and 2024 suggests the buyer should check the current tread depth and alignment patterns to ensure the suspension is not causing uneven tyre wear.
